Flow cytometer data transfer

[metazool]

Need to gather info about where the exports from the Flow Cytometer are being saved to, how we can get programmatic access to them.

Key takeaway from visiting the flow cytometer is how not-core the imaging data is to the analytical approach in the lab

• Images are secondary, used to support conclusions but not to draw them
• Images of single small entities are not intrinsically useful, it's how they group together that tells you about their classification and action
• On-device analysis does clustering on other properties and that's (probably) what we see in the .fcs output files, in aggregate rather than linked to specific samples
