PY - 2011 DA - 2011/03/07 TI - Flow cytometry data standards JO - BMC Research Notes SP - 50 VL - 4 IS - 1 AB - Flow cytometry is a widely used analytical technique for examining microscopic particles, such as cells. The Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) was developed in 1984 for storing flow data and it is supported by all instrument and third party software vendors. However, FCS does not capture the full scope of flow cytometry (FCM)-related data and metadata, and data standards have recently been developed to address this shortcoming.
