'The Hematopathology laboratory of the Shands Hospital at the University of Florida analyzes numerous bone marrow, blood and lymphoid tissue samples for the diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma and related neoplastic conditions every day. We are currently using DiVa, which is a great data acquisition program, but it does have serious limitations when used for routine data analysis and report generation thus leading to our decision to purchase FCS Express.' By using FCS Express anticipate shortening the training cycle by allowing our technicians more time to focus on the more demanding tasks in flow cytometry and less on clerical busy work. Moreover it often takes years to fully train a technician. Currently there is a labor tight market for qualified personnel in our area and we find it hard to attract technicians.

In short, the 'automation' features of FCS Express seem stronger which are important to our clinical laboratory. In comparison with the other programs we reviewed, FCS Express seems to better suited to handle these repetitious tasks that are a big part of our clinical work and help separate this application from the needs of a 'research' user. Currently we spend excessive time in clerical tasks of transferring numerical values into our reports.

It is hard to put into words, but FCS Express also seemed to have the look and feel of what I thought a 'clinical' software program should be. 'A major decision in our choice of software packages was dictated by how well we thought it would integrate with our report writing software (MS Word.) It is my impression that FCS Express does a better job with interfacing with other widely used software programs than the two other programs that we evaluated. I can't imagine a successful clinical lab without FCS Express it is the 'go-to' Clinical package.'įlow Cytometry Discipline Director Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings De Novo Software has been able to provide us with the features that we need and their technical support is extraordinary. I need a user friendly package that will accommodate our current complex multicolor analysis as well as be able to expand for future growth, provide high quality reports for our clients, offer a virtual component for those customers that want to offer tech only flow or more closely interact with their patient results and the big challenge is that this has to happen in an extremely high volume reference laboratory. In my opinion there just isn't another software option for us. 'My function here at Labcorp is to set up a work flow process for over 350 cases a day companywide so without a doubt I am choosing FCS Express to accomplish this.
