Orange County, Calif. (November 17, 2023) – Beckman
Coulter Inc. announces the introduction of its Kaluza Flow
Cytometry Analysis Software, a package that greatly reduces
processing and analysis times, allowing researchers more time to
explore their data. Kaluza Software features new tools that
simplify the management of multiple complex data sets, allows
visualization of high-content data in different spatial dimensions
on a single plot, and provides real-time analysis of high-content
flow cytometry files.
A dynamic workspace facilitates automatic organization of plots,
which combines with a zoom in/zoom out feature to provide an
intuitive environment for data exploration. Auto-Layout
intelligently reconfigures the workspace and minimizes the clicks
required to create and maintain an analysis.
Data replay is made quick and easy with automatic loading of the
original plots, gates, and colors from files with embedded analysis
protocols. A radial menu provides fast access to all plot and
region editing features.
Tree plots easily represent data that typically requires dozens
of plots, gates and regions. Each phenotype can be used as a gate
for further data exploration. Radar plots provide a
multi-dimensional view of data without drawing a single gate. These
plots reveal relevant and rare populations that are typically not
seen using traditional bi-variate plots and gating strategies.
Sharlene Wright, flow cytometry strategic marketing manager with
Beckman Coulter, noted, "Cytometrists can spend hours, days and
even weeks formatting data to get the right information and
presentation. With Kaluza Software, this can now be done in
minutes, giving researchers the opportunity to spend more time in
discovery and to get more information from their data."
Kaluza Flow Cytometry Analysis Software will readily scale to
meet the expanding requirements of future instrumentation. Patented
technology enables remarkably fast refresh rates for even large,
complex data sets. The package works with the majority of
FCS-compliant files and with most cytometers. It can be used with
both network and stand-alone computers and is offered for research
use only. Functional examples of Kaluza data analysis can be viewed
at www.kaluzasoftware.com,
where a free, fully functional trial version of the software is
available.
