The following tips and instructions will aid in importing and using Accuri CFlow experiments:
• | Recommended settings in FCS Express to help improve performance when importing BD Accuri C6 experiments. |
1. | Open the Options dialog using the File tab→Options command. |
2. | Select the Data Loading→FCS File Options category. Make sure that Allow Multiple Datasets is unchecked. Although this setting is not necessary for loading a C6 data file, it will allow you to add files to the data list, which is necessary for batch processing. |
3. | Uncheck Validate that files are FCS Files before displaying them in a file dialog. This change, while not necessary for loading a C6 data file, will speed up adding files into the file list. |

1. | Insert a plot from the Insert Tab. When the Select a Data File dialog opens, change the file type to C6 files (*.c6; *.cfl). |
2. | Navigate to the CFlow file that you want to open, and double-click on it. The dialog will then display all of the fcs files contained inside the C6 file. Select the one that you are looking for. |
