OMIQ currently accepts CSV and FCS files. You would need to upload your files that you want to analyze in OMIQ. This article tackles how to upload files into OMIQ. You can also import files from an existing dataset to another dataset. You can learn more about the functionality in our Importing Data from One Dataset to Another Dataset in OMIQ.
You can upload files directly from a cytometry machine connected to Luma Lab Connect (LLC). To learn more, please see our support article Automatically Upload Your Data with Luma Lab Connect (LLC).
1. Create a Dataset
Files in OMIQ are stored in a Dataset. Once you are logged on, you can see the Datasets view. Click Create Dataset.
Existing Datasets will be displayed upon log-in.
Name your dataset. Click Create.
2. Upload Individual Files
You can Drag & Drop your files or you can Click to Choose Files.
Once you have chosen your files, you can monitor the progress of the File Upload Status.
3. Batch Upload Files in Folders
You can upload files contained in a folder. Drag & Drop the folder/s that contains your files.
Select the Files you want to upload. Click Submit.
In the example above, we are uploading to folders named Plate 1 and Plate 2.
Once you have submitted your files, you can monitor the progress of the File Upload Status.
When uploading files inside a folder, the folder name becomes a prefix of your file within OMIQ following this syntax: [Folder name] your file name.fcs. For example, if you have a "Plate 1" folder containing an A01.fcs file, uploading your "Plate 1" folder will result in the file being called [Plate 1] A01.fcs and if you have another folder named "Plate 2" with an A01.fcs file, uploading "Plate 2" folder will result in the the file being called [Plate 2] A01.fcs in OMIQ. This will allow you track files with identical names across folders.
4. Upload Files to an Existing Dataset
You can add new files into an existing dataset.
Open the Dataset you want to add files to. Click on File Actions then select Upload Files.
