Flow cytometry connected to the rest of your experiment
Looking for an OMIQ alternative that ties flow into your samples and figures? Conspecta runs gating, compensation, and dimensionality reduction in the browser, linked to the samples each FCS file came from.
Honest comparison
Conspecta vs. OMIQ
OMIQ is a cloud platform built for high-dimensional and spectral flow. Here is where a connected research platform fits differently.
| Capability | Conspecta | OMIQ |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Browser-based, free to start | Cloud, institution-based subscription |
| Gating | Interactive gating in the browser | Interactive gating in the cloud |
| High-dimensional & spectral | Compensation, UMAP, and t-SNE | Deep high-dimensional and spectral toolkit |
| Sample context | FCS linked to samples, timepoints, and conditions | Files and experiments, not linked to a sample graph |
| Figures | Multi-panel figures tied to your data | Plots and figures within the flow tool |
| Beyond flow | Imaging, samples, sequences, and figures too | Flow cytometry only |
| Cost | Free for individuals; flat team pricing | Subscription, institution-based (not publicly listed) |
When OMIQ is the right choice
OMIQ is strong for heavy high-dimensional and spectral cytometry, with a deep toolkit for that work. If that specialized depth is the center of your analysis, it leads there. Conspecta is for teams who want solid flow connected to their samples, images, and figures, without an institution-level contract.
Why teams switch
What you get with Conspecta
Interactive gating
Upload FCS files and draw gates in the browser. Build and reuse gating hierarchies across your panels.
Compensation & dimensionality reduction
Apply compensation matrices and run UMAP or t-SNE on high-parameter panels without leaving the page.
FCS linked to sample context
Every file connects to the bleed, harvest, or stimulation it came from, with timepoint and genotype metadata.
Publication-ready figures
Compose multi-panel figures from flow plots and charts, then export at journal resolution.
More than flow
Imaging, samples, sequences, and figures live in the same platform, connected to your flow data.
Export everything
Gate statistics export as CSV and raw data as FCS. Your data is never locked in.
