FRANKLIN LAKES, N.J. & ASHLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FlowJo, LLC, the provider of the market-leading third-party software for single cell analysis, and BD Life Sciences – Biosciences, a segment of leading global medical technology company BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company) (NYSE:BDX), announced today that they have established a strategic relationship to integrate BD’s flow cytometry data acquisition software with FlowJo’s data analysis platform for the research market.
The integrated software would enable upload of acquired data from BD flow cytometers running BD FACSDiva™ software directly to FlowJo Enterprise, paving the way for user-friendly data management and provenance tracking for researchers using flow cytometry. FlowJo Enterprise will enable researchers to initiate pipelined data analysis directly from the instrument. The direct upload would offer a superior customer and research experience seamlessly linking flow cytometry data acquisition to final results and reports.
“We are very excited to be partnering with an industry leader to enable a single process from acquired data to results,” said Michael Stadnisky PhD, CEO of FlowJo. “Two powerful tools are now united to better serve researchers and transform curiosity into discovery.”
FlowJo and BD demonstrated the integration prototype at CYTO 2015: the 30th Congress of the International Society for Advancement of Cytometry, in Glasgow, Scotland.
