Re: Reports from Cell Quest?

Hi Susan,

Well, if I remember right from my clinical days, the way I did it was
something like this:

In Cell Quest, it is important to keep files incrementing by value 001 and
keep each patient files in separate folder. Then you go to menu Batch, under
Setup tick "Export statistics", under "New File..." button choose where to
save it. Set pause after each file increment to "manual" so you can adjust
any regions between files, if necessary. When you run Batch, you'll see
funny play/pause/stop control bar and just "play" file by file. Every time
you press play, export file is being added with a new row for that data file
and parameters (%gated, %total...) in its columns. It's useful to turn off
any stats you don't need in "Stats/Edit region Stats", otherwise you get
staff like "no gate", "linear values" as a column for each file. Once you
finish batching, you can open generated file in Excel or Claris Works (it's
just tab-deliminated) and copy desirable percentage columns into the patient
form. I kept forms standardised as a Claris Spreadsheet templates and had a
rigid panels (even order of tubes shouldn't change) to make this work.

Hope it'll help,
Sasha.
