Union Biometrica - FlowPilot Software for COPAS FP
Union Biometrica’s FlowPilot software was developed for BioSorter and COPAS FP instruments with the demanding flow cytometry user in mind. But the software is intuitive and easy-to-use so you don’t have to be an expert to begin using FlowPilot equipped instruments.
The dynamic Flow Pilot desktop allows the user to easily access or hide: instrument control, data acquisition and dispensing panels based on personal preference. Users can define and manipulate multiple independent graphical and statistical displays of acquired data including multiple regions per plot, custom scaling and logical gating options. Retrievable experiment and sample template files as well as options included for data review (on instrument or offline) provide powerful tools for post-acquisition analysis.
The new Sort Delay Setup tool aids the user in identifying and implementing the optimal conditions (timing) for accurate and efficient dispensing.
Dispensing is not limited to standard multiwell receptacles. The user can create custom output receptacle templates with well to well dimensions as tight as 384 well standards. Each dispense location may be given a different combination of sort conditions (i.e., object number and gate region).
Configuration of auto-stop conditions, auto-cleaning and other maintenance functions as well as user notifications allow the researcher to walk away during instrument use. And Flow Pilot incorporates additional integration features (i.e. coupling it with LP Sampler and robotic handlers) for higher through-put processing of samples in multi-process workflow stations.
