A new interface connects flow cytometers to personal computers, enabling direct data transfer to patient databases. This system streamlines data management for clinical research and patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Clinical Informatics

Background:

  • Flow cytometry generates complex data requiring efficient management.
  • Integrating instrument data with patient databases is crucial for clinical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a seamless data interface between a flow cytometer and a patient database system.
  • To enhance the efficiency of data transfer and storage for flow cytometry results.

Main Methods:

  • Established a connection using a commercial IEEE-488 bus interface board between the flow cytometer's computer and a personal computer (PC).
  • Configured the PC as a bus device, mimicking the flow cytometer's printer.
  • Programmed the PC to intercept and extract relevant data from the printer data stream, storing it in an MS-DOS text file.
