Partnership: Polaris Biology
Company Profile
Polaris Biology thrives on advancing single-cell technologies. Harnessing the proprietary Starion™ mass cytometry system, Polaris Biology offers a comprehensive set of instruments, ready-to-use antibodies, customized panel kits, and informatic tools. Polaris Biology is committed to working with clinicians, academia, as well as pharmaceutical industries to address the true complexities of biology and disease.
Collaboration
De Novo Software and Polaris Biology have recently announced a distribution agreement where new purchases of the Starion™ Mass Cytometer instruments will be provided with a free one-year license of FCS Express 7. The collaboration has also enabled the teams and De Novo Software and Polaris Biology to work more closely together ensuring joint customers a seamless experience moving from acquisition to results.
Polaris Biology, a leading innovator in single-cell technologies, has developed the Polaris Biology Starion™ Mass Cytometer instrument. The Starion combines high-throughput power and accelerated test speeds to achieve high resolution results.
The resultant data files can then be imported into FCS Express for a seamless transition between acquisition and analysis. Scientists can move beyond creating standard plots and incorporate transformations like t-SNE, UMAP, and FlowSOM to optimize extracting additional information about how markers are interacting within a given data set. With access to advanced statistics, charting tools, and reusable templates FCS Express makes analysis of your Starion data straightforward. While you are creating your analysis strategy you are generating your reliable, reproducible, and reportable results.
The FCS Express layout below provides users with a foundation for data analysis using the Human Lymphocyte Immunophenotyping Kit from Polaris Biology. You have the ability to customize the layout to meet your analysis requirements. Save your newly customized template and with each new data set you will move quickly and easily from analysis to results.

Press Release
October 18th, 2021
PASADENA, CA
Polaris Biology, a leading innovator in single-cell technologies, and De Novo Software, a premier provider of flow cytometry data analysis solutions, announced today that FCS Express™ 7 will be bundled with the Polaris Biology Starion™ Mass Cytometer instruments.
The non-exclusive partnership between Polaris Biology and De Novo Software offers users a complete data acquisition to publication-ready results workflow. Every new installation of a Starion™ cytometer globally will include an FCS Express flow cytometry license (subject to certain limitations).
The collaboration provides a streamlined workflow that enables researchers to quickly obtain comprehensive results from high-dimensional mass cytometry data sets. Mass cytometry allows for the simultaneous analysis of 40+ parameters at a single-cell resolution, which can then be imported to De Novo Software’s FCS Express 7 application. This allows scientists to create publication ready charts, visualizations, and displays coupled with access to advanced statistics, high-dimensional data reduction tools, machine learning algorithms such as t-SNE, UMAP, FlowSOM, all provided within an easy-to-use interface.
“The collaboration with De Novo Software is an exciting opportunity to accelerate the application of high dimensional single cell analysis in multiple areas. The joint technologies from both Polaris and De Novo Software will offer users an assembly of powerful tools for investigation of the most complex biological and medical challenges of today.” said Dr. Yuchong Wang, Chief Executive Officer, Polaris Biology.”
David Novo, CEO of De Novo Software added, "We expect the new Starion instrument from Polaris Biology to be a leader in its class, helping researchers to perform deep profiling at single cell resolution with high throughput and accelerated acquisition times making the instrument a perfect complement for FCS Express. With FCS Express users can easily perform sophisticated analysis on any sized data set while calling upon high dimensional data reduction tools at a click. FCS Express facilitates Mass Cytometry data sets via an easy to use interface designed to handle large and complex experiments all while providing scientists a path to quickly achieve final publication ready results.”
