Simplified Presentation of Incredibly Complex Evaluations (SPICE)

SPICE is a data-mining software application that analyzes large FLOWJO data sets from polychromatic flow cytometry and organizes the normalized data graphically. SPICE enables users to discover potential correlations in their experimental data within complex data sets. Many potential applications for SPICE exist – the software can be used to analyze any multivariate data set for which a series of nominal measurements and a single continuous measurement is available.
