CyCLOPS®

CyCLOPS is a complete flow cytometry software package. It can be configured for on-line acquisition, sort control and analysis, or, on-line acquisition and analysis only, or, off-line analysis. CyCLOPS supports both the CICERO and MoFlo electronics systems.

CyCLOPS is written in "C" and is designed to exploit the speed available on 486 and Pentium PC's, to enable essentially "instant" screen responses and on-line software compensation. The programs run under a "pull down" menu to minimize paging. Operating set-ups are stored as "protocols." Frequently repeated commands are linked by custom macro strings for recall at a single keystroke. CyCLOPS acquires files into histogram and/or listmode directories. The program includes routines for linear to log data conversion.

Display capability includes 15 "objects" on a single screen. These can include eight movable, sizeable histograms, instrument setting status, and a gating diagram. The screen displays can include isometrics, contours, and comprehensive histogram labelling. Analysis routines include subtraction, overlays, kinetics, plotting time versus ratio, percent positive and mean. Color gating is an elegant feature of the system.

CyCLOPS provides convenient export of files in formats compatible with popular spread-sheets, word processors and graphics packages. High quality printing is provided through support of the latest versions of HP LaserJet^TM printers. A special feature of CyCLOPS is the provision of network compatible data transfer capability.
