PPTOTO Getting started with Red Matter App takes only a few steps, and none of them require installing anything. Open the app in your browser and load your FCS file — there's no account to create and no software to download first. As soon as your file is loaded, Red Matter App renders your flow cytometry data as an interactive plot, so you can start exploring your cell populations right away instead of waiting on a desktop program to launch.
From there, the core analysis workflow is the same one researchers use in traditional flow cytometry software, just without leaving your browser. Draw polygon or quadrant gates directly on the plot to isolate the populations you care about, and apply manual compensation to correct for spectral overlap between fluorochromes. Once your gating and compensation are set, you can export your plots for reports, presentations, or publications — taking you from a raw FCS file to a finished figure in just a few clicks.
