Analysis Software

Hello, all:

I am forwarding this inquiry on behalf of a friend who has recently moved
to another institution and is having trouble getting his flow data analyzed
the way he is used to.

He does 3-color staining of lymphocytes and is used to getting 3-color
Prism analysis from our Coulter Elite (i.e., % CD2+CD4+CD8-, %
CD2+CD4+CD8+, etc.).  At his new school, he tells me that they have a B-D
instrument with Cell-Quest software, and that they are not capable of
giving him the same type of data.  Since I am not familiar with how B-D
instruments handle 3-color analysis, or with Cell-Quest, I do not know what
to advise him other than to obtain a 3rd party software that can do the
analysis as he wants.  I believe that he prefers to work in an IBM rather
than MAC environment.

I would appreciate any suggestions about shareware or software for purchase
that can handle 3-color B-D flow files and give a thorough 3-color
analysis.  I will pass along your recommendations.

Thanks in advance,
Rick Meister
