“I have been an Infinicyt™ user since 2009 and I find it a very helpful software to screen for and analyze files of hematological malignancies. I like the idea of not using prefixed templates or quadrants and be able to perform a fast, sequential analysis to identify and characterize each cellular population. It has some features that I particularly enjoy, namely the Automated Population Separator (APS) which provides a n-dimensional separation of events based on all the parameters in the file. This feature has proved very advantageous in complex samples like bone marrow aspirates or when a detailed analysis of a large number of events is required to identify a cluster of cells, as in rare event analysis, e.g. MRD samples. The maturation tool opens new insights in evaluating the maturation patterns of different lineages based on different markers and is very relevant when there is a clinical suspicion of MDS. Finally, the use of the compass tool enables new automated classification based on databases of normal samples or comprehensively pre-diagnosed cases of different clonal entities.”

“As a clinical flow cytometry lab that does leukemia testing and monitoring during treatment,the Infinicyt program has opened up a new window for us in minimal residual disease analysis, as well as routine flow analysis. The APS is an amazing tool, and has enabled us to monitor our patients, in a way that routine programs cannot. The technical support and training are great. Any question or problem we have is promptly solved.”

“(…) Thorough all the software I have used I have never had one to be so simple and intuitive to use. The flexibility of the Infinicyt process to identify populations makes the analysis less tedious than most other software. (…) The software gives us confidence to clearly identify populations at the LOD in MRD cases that our previous analysis software could not do. Extras like the APS algorithm, maturation sequences, merging files and creating “normal reference” libraries as well as a personal abnormal file for each patient for post treatment comparisons really puts this software way above all others (…)”

The Infinicyt software is intuitive and permits easy establishment of analysis panels and protocols. In single tubes it permits isolation and characterization of small subpopulations. In addition, the ability to merge files which contain an adequate backbone enhances the utility of flow cytometry in the diagnosis and classification of both leukaemias and lymphomas as the cell surface profile can be clearly determined. It is invaluable in the analysis of myelodysplasias for definition of aberrant antigen expression and assessment of the maturation profiles; in analysis of leukaemias at diagnosis, relapse and in the evaluation of MRD, where aberrant antigen expression and population overlay may impede conventional analysis strategies. As a clinical haematologist responsible for the flow cytometry section of a large clinical laboratory, I find Infinicyt an invaluable desktop software for rapid analysis and verification of the complex blood, node and marrow samples that I review on a daily basis.

Infinicyt™ is by far the most stable and flexible software product for data analysis in flow cytometry that I use. The Infinicyt™ has an easy-to-use interface with a single query field and the possibility to select between several data sources. In my laboratory the Infinicyt™ software is used both for routine diagnosis and research purposes. The innovative features of Infinicyt™ are: is user-friendly, intuitive software allowing a wide range of analytical possibilities, and is first tool that allow constructing a database that improve the classification and comparison of data with implications in disease monitoring through and beyond treatment. Moreover, the Cytognos’ team has excellent communication skills and provides fast response and turnaround time for any possible problem.
