1. A system for creating a flow cytometer network, comprising:

  • a first and second flow cytometers, each flow cytometer respectively including;

    an interrogation zone through which a flow cytometer sample passes; and

    a fixed gain detection system configured to use a fixed gain setting for collecting for the sample a sample data set of photonic inputs from the interrogation zone;

    a flow cytometer data center that stores and manages sample-related data from the first and second flow cytometers, the flow cytometer data center comprising an analysis module configured to perform data analysis by directly comparing the sample data sets from the first and the second flow cytometers without compensating for differences between the fixed gain settings of the first and the second flow cytometers, and without compensating for differences in calibration settings of the first and the second flow cytometers; and

    a network communication module communicatively coupled to at least one of the first and the second flow cytometers and the flow cytometer data center, wherein the network communication module communicates sample-related data between the at least one of the first and the second flow cytometers and the flow cytometer data center.
