Weasel is a leader in the graphical analysis of flow cytometry data with a wide range of graphics formats, several of which are unique. Some of the more exotic include:

Pseudo-imaging.
2D biplots and 3D biplots.
Parallel coordinates displays.
Population linked displays.
Cluster discovery "on the fly".
and, as of 10th August 2023, Overlaid dotted displays

New! 19 November 2023 v3.8.1, a bug-fix version of v3.8 is now available. See the new version page for details.

10 August 2023 The new Weasel revision, v3.8, is now available. Now with a powerful tool for discovering cell population changes by overlaying data files in all dotted display forms (2D and 3D dotplots, 2D and 3D biplots) (see more..). Also, all dotted displays can have dots coloured according to the local cell density in the data space.
Versions available for Macintosh, Windows PC and unix varieties (with Java).
A long heritage in exploratory data analysis through innovative visual display techniques.
See also the companion program ACluE for cell cluster discovery in multi-parameter data.

Weasel is available for public download. A fully functional copy can be downloaded free for a 30 day trial. Thereafter, a small licence fee is required.

Features:

Common display forms (histograms, contour plots and dot plots: see the display browser below).
Batch mode processing.
Exporting merged and/or gated FCS data files.
Export of high resolution graphics.
