Denise and everybody else interested in Flow Jo:
I have been using Flow Jo for a year and my requirements are very much like
yours. I also do a lot of DNA analysis, apoptosis and proliferation assays.
We just use the Fl-1,  Fl-2,  etc. as defaults. That way we can run different
set of samples using several different markers with the same dye at a single
run. Later in the analysis we add to the plots the specific name of the
markers. It is fast and efficient, I definitely love it, my analysis time has
been cut down in an exponential way. You create a template and can drop buckets
of samples in it to be analyzed in no time. This includes time for you to view
every single plot in a movie sequence to be sure that all your gates are
correct. Still  if you have cells from different origins and need to correct
gates, this can be done for the individual samples that require correction
leaving the rest untouchable. And the results on excel are at your finger tips
customized by your needs in a couple of clicks. I will never forget all the
macros I needed to built to create individual excel tables from cell quest.
I fewer words, as I told BD who where the ones who introduce me to Flow Jo:
"Flow Jo is like to live in the future and there is no way you want to return
to the past".
