Facts supported by cited sources

FlowJo v10.10.2 was released on 18 September 2026. The release notes state that FlowJo v10 now supports BD FACSDiscover Detector Independent Scaling data, described as a means of normalizing parameters despite varied gain settings.

For BD FACSDiscover data, BD SpectralFX is now the default unmixing method rather than ordinary least squares.

Software support is not independent multicentre clinical validation. Cross-site transferability still depends on sample preparation, reagents, QC, acquisition, unmixing, transformations and the biological endpoint. For the CFCM AI Evidence Tracker: instrument harmonisation is addressed conceptually by DSI; fluorescence calibration, external-site validation, domain-shift evidence and OOD handling are not demonstrated by these release notes.
