PC specifications

• CytoSure™ Interpret Software is optimised for use on computers

running Windows XP® or Windows Vista®

• To ensure correct display, do not use Windows classic view.

• For viewing and saving multiple datasets it is recommended that a

computer with a memory of 3–4 GB is used

• A quad core computer is recommended to ensure fast running of the

automated aberration detection function

• Typical data processing time, when using a CytoSure ISCA 8 x 60k

array, should be approximately 4–5 minutes

• CytoSure Interpret Software works effectively on non-quad core

computers; however, the automated aberration detection running

time will take longer
