Dear Cytometry list reader,

I'm also interested in these question (currently I
export the data from BD software as tab del. file and
import the data in excel).

I addition I'm interested to know if anyone knows
software/database which organises the FACS file. At
the moment I store the list-mode files in seperate
folders (one folder for each patient), but over the
time it becomes very difficult to find files.

Thanks
