Flow Cytometry Standard (FCS) is a file format specifically designed for storing the results of flow cytometry experiments. Flow cytometry is a biophysical technology used to analyze the physical and chemical characteristics of particles, typically cells, in a fluid as they pass through a laser. The FCS file format was developed to facilitate the exchange of flow cytometry data between different instruments and software.
