I’ve loaded small (10K cells, 2 or 3 colors) files as well as quite large (5M cells, 10 colors) files. You load FCS files, apply analysis plots/regions/stats and that’s it. Getting started with the software is easy enough. ![]() They successfully pulled off the minimalist/high-tech look and feel of the software. With that being said, here’s my first impressions on the windows-only (so sad), late beta version of Kaluza.įirst of all, it is aesthetically pleasing to look at and interact with. What this basically means is that I pretty much look at all analysis software through a “FlowJo-colored lens.” My impressions therefore, are fairly skewed towards that bias. We’ve looked into other packages in the past (namely FCS Express and VenturiOne) but none were as exhaustive in capabilities as FlowJo, so we felt we were getting the most bang for buck in that case. Nearly all of our users analyze with FlowJo (others use acquisition programs like CellQuest or FACSDiVa to do analysis). ![]() You’re probably well aware of the fact that we at the University of Chicago are a FlowJo shop. I’ve been playing around with Kaluza for about a month now and so I can share a few thoughts. ![]() Beckman Coulter ( ) has released it’s offline analysis tool, Kaluza, whose major feature seems to be speed. Seems like there’s quite a bit of news coming out of Miami these past few months, and that is a good thing.
