Medical Diagnostic Software Analyzes Cells 10 Times Faster on 64-Bit Platform

Overview Applied Cytometry Systems (ACS), based in the United Kingdom, makes software for flow cytometry instruments. The large amounts of data that leading-edge researchers deal with when analyzing particles using flow cytometry are difficult for 32-bit computing systems to handle quickly, resulting in extremely slow processes. This in turn slows research, hindering advances in medicine and science. In mid-2005, ACS began developing a new product that would take advantage of the processing power and large memory support of Windows XP 64-Bit Edition. The new software analyzes samples 10 times faster than 32-bit versions, and enables researchers to compare sets of cytometry data in ways that were not possible before.
