Hello to all the helpful, and far-more-knowledgable-than-me flow cytometrists out there: I've been involved in what started out as a relatively small cytometry-based human study that has recently ballooned into something much larger (10-fold increase in study participants, and still growing). I have been taking my flow data, hand-entering it into spreadsheet databases, which get sent to a statistician to correlate with other clincal features of the diseases we are studying. What started out as a relatively simple task (typing flow values into an Excell database) has become more and more time-consuming. My question is for those of you especially who run clinical flow cytometry labs that generate high volumes of data: How do you manage the data once it is generated? Are there any programs available that take the data automatically once the samples have been run and enter the values directly into a spreadsheet? Or do you hire work study students to do this for you?? Please help me! I'm running a FACSCalibur, and CellQuest software. Thanks a bunch! Jeannine Navratil University of Pittsburgh
