MIFlowCyt (Minimum Information about a Flow Cytometry Experiment) is a new ISAC-approved standard for what information should be included when publishing flow cytometry data (see Cytometry A, 2008, 73(10):926-30 and online supporting material).
The Flow Core at Baylor Institute of Immunology Research has several multicolor instruments for which I've created MIFlowCyt templates:
You can use these templates, which contain all default instrument information, to fill in the remaining information pertinent to your experiment. Note that the templates contain information specific to the BIIR instruments; your cytometer may be different, but you can still use these as a starting point.
