When you have created the gating structure in FlowJo v10.6+ needed for repeating your experiment, you can modify an existing Diva experiment (.XML file) that and import that file into FACSDiva™. Whether you would like to import compensation and scaling onlyĪfter making these decisions, you will then need to click the “Import from FACSDiva™” button to bring the information into FlowJo.An FCS file with the scaling and compensation that you would like applied.The Global Worksheet with the gates that you are importing.The experiment using the file navigator.Once the Import from FACSDiva™ dialogue has been opened, you will be asked to choose: Next, right-click on any of loaded samples and select “Import from FACSDiva™” to open the Import from FACSDiva™ dialogue. With FlowJo v10.6 open, load your FCS files from the experiment by dropping the files into the FlowJo Workspace or from the Add Samples dialogue. Importing FACSDiva™ Experiments into FlowJo

Choosing Directory Export will allow for the direct import into FlowJo, as the Zip archive will need to be unzipped first.

XML Choosing Zip File Export will export a Zip archive file that contains your experiment.

You will be given the option to export as a Directory or a Zip File.Ĭhoosing Directory Export will export a folder with your experiment. XML) by either right-clicking on the experiment and selecting Export –> Experiments from the dialogue or by choosing File –> Export –> Experiment on the FACSDiva™ ribbon. Once you have finished collecting your flow cytometry data on a BD cytometer running FACSDiva™, you will need to export your experiment file (FACSDiva™ experiments have a file extension of. Additionally, you can now create FACSDiva™ experiments in FlowJo for experiment reiterations and precise cell sorting gates. This means that gating information and population hierarchies don’t need to be lost in the handoff. Now, with FlowJo v10.6 and newer, FACSDiva™ experiments can be imported into FlowJo and FlowJo can export FACSDiva™ templates. Until now, FCS files were the only data from FACSDiva™ that could be imported into FlowJo. Since 1994, Flow Cytometrists have been using FlowJo to analyze data collected on BD cytometers to create statistics and figures pivotal to publications on immune subsets.
