Cytometry Reagent Database and Automated Panel Design Software.

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed project described in this grant application, combined with existing Fluorish tools, will create a robust cloud-based e-commerce marketplace for cytometry research reagents, addressing key needs in the research community. Flow Cytometry is widely used in basic and clinical research. Fluorish LLC will streamline the experimental design process and enhance the quality of scientific inquiry for flow cytometry research. Through iterative development, we will begin implementing an automated panel design system, and a comprehensive reagent and panel database. Linking these components in the cloud with Fluorish's social computing capabilities, will help users pursue greater complexity in multiparametric flow cytometry experimental design and significantly enhance their scientific exploration. Objectives: (1) Provide an online cloud environment that allows researchers to develop valuable social networks, while integrating robust scientific experimental desig
