Beckman Coulter Life Sciences Cytobank cytometry software version 9.1

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences has announced a series of updates to its Cytobank platform — a cloud-based analysis solution for cytometry data that provides powerful visual data management and controlled data sharing. With access to machine learning-assisted analysis without the need for coding knowledge, the platform helps researchers discover insights from high-dimensional data with the use of unbiased approaches that should reduce reproducibility issues, eliminating operator-dependent bias.

Users will now have the ability to access, directly from their illustrations, common statistical tests such as regular and paired Student’s t-test, one- or two-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test and many more. The latest update also provides an automatic stain index calculation to ease the tedious step of antibody titration.

Version 9.1 offers statistical inference enhancements to streamline data analysis workflows, which includes eliminating the need to copy-paste data between different analysis software to test for statistical significance. Additional features include bar charts, box plots, violin plots, line and summary dot plots, and dimension-annotated heat maps available in the Illustration Editor to allow users to easily summarise meaningful results.

The platform is designed to provide users with confidence in running data clustering and visualisation, speed up the process and encourage the publication of data in a more interesting way than regular dot plots analysis.
