Adjust scales, compensation and gating223• Add the plugin of interest to the plugins folder on your machine and restart• Be sure to put the plugin in the correct folder so that it is recognized by youranalysis software. If not, specify folder’s file path and restart• If the plugin requires R environment, make sure you have the R package installed
and all the algorithm dependencies it requires in R

You can perform analysis runs in parallel to compare different algorithms
and settings.
The R package you are working with has been updated

You chose the wrong settings

You chose the wrong algorithm

Repeat 4

Repeat 2

The R package you are working with has been updated

No worries!
The Cytobank platform works peer-reviewed, fully integrated and validated algorithms.
Every update gets tested before it is on the platform and is fully supported by our team if you need help.

There was a bug in a previous version of the package that was later fixed.
Now you don't know if your findings are correct and can't easily re-trace your steps. Repeat 2

The analysis software provider releases a new version of the software warning usersthat with previous one some algorithms may appear to work but some results might be wrong

No worries!
Every update for the Cytobank platform goes through several rounds ofregression testing before it is released. Our support team is there if you need help.

Again, you don't know if your findings are correct or not. Repeat 2

Create figures for your data

With Sample Tags you can create dynamic figures taking into account experimental variables

You need to check lab book for notes on experimental variables every time you modify figures

In the middle of a presentation a peer asks for results on a different cell subset

No problem!
If you have an internet connection you can easily access your data following a simple link andmodify everything «live» you want to find more insights on your data

You have an internet-based license for your analysis so you can use it everywhere but you
realize you should have copied all your data and analysis and took them with you to beable to change something!

Your collaborators want to check your analysis and your results
No worries!
• Create a project, click on «share» on the Experiment Manager and decide
what level of access to give your collaborators• You can collaborate with several users on the same analysis file.
• You get your reviewed analysis and your insights

No worries!
In the Cytobank platform everything is archived and settings
remain associated with results

Where did I put that analysis?????

The Journal you submitted your paper to requires making yourdata publicy available
No worries!
In the Cytobank platform you can make your experiment publicwith just one click

Your collaborators want to check your analysis and your results• You need to find an empty hard disk to copy your data on• Data and analysis are big: go and get a coffee while you wait
• Data and analyses are really big: go and get a second coffee while you wait
• Send data to your collaborators• They change analysis to version _V1• You make the requested changes and change analysis to version _V2• They forgot to make a small change and change analysis to version _V2.1• You get your insights from version _V2.1.2.3

The Journal you submitted your paper to requires making yourdata publicy available
