1. A method of extracting and manipulating data from a flow cytometer system comprising:
- collecting a full dynamic range of input signals from a flow cytometer sample into an initial data set that includes at least a 1;
100,000 ratio between the faintest objects and the brightest objects;
storing the initial data set of the full dynamic range of the input signals from the flow cytometer sample;
allowing modification of the initial data set to manipulate the initial data set across the range of input signals from the flow cytometer sample; and
storing the modified data set.

Abstract
A method of extracting and analyzing a data set from a flow cytometer system of the preferred embodiment comprises the steps of (1) running a sample and saving all collected raw data, (2) viewing raw (or “unmodified”) data, (3) modifying the raw data (e.g., scaling and/or culling the raw data), (4) reviewing and saving the modified data, and (5) exporting the saved data. Once the sample has been run and all collected data have been saved, the user can repeat the steps of modifying the raw data, saving the modified data, and exporting the saved data as many times as necessary and/or desirable.

27. A method of extracting and manipulating data from a flow cytometer system comprising:
-
collecting a full dynamic range of input signals from a flow cytometer sample into an initial data set; storing the initial data set of the full dynamic range of the input signals from the flow cytometer sample; allowing modification of the initial data set to manipulate the initial data set across the range of input signals from the flow cytometer sample, including permitting a user to identify the modifications made to the initial data set and permitting a user to store settings used to generate a desired subset of data from the initial data set; and storing the modified data set.
