GemStone™ Software DownloadBefore you download, is GemStone 1.0 right for you?GemStone is a completely different way to analyze flow cytometry data. It challenges us to think differently about our science. Traditional techniques for identifying populations of cells are pushed to the side in GemStone, replaced by a new set of tools with which most cytometrists have no experience. The program is in its infancy. Here at Verity Software House, we have only begun to explore the vast number of applications for GemStone. Our primary goal with version 1.0 of the program is to build a library of models that can be used by others. This library will become an important resource for the GemStone community as it develops. So, is GemStone right for you? Are you a GemStone Model Builder or a GemStone Analyzer?Early adopters of GemStone will need to build "models" or to use models that others have built. Version 1.0 of the program does not build models for you. To decide whether GemStone 1.0 is right for you, consider whether you are a Model Builder or a GemStone Analyzer.
If you are a Model Builder type, GemStone 1.0 is a perfect match for you. It's a great toolkit, and you can be involved in creating models that will be used and appreciated by many. If you are a GemStone Analyzer type, GemStone 1.0 might be for you. If you are collaborating with someone who is a Model Builder type: yes. Your collaborator will create the model and tweak it, and you'll put it to use. However, if there is no model currently available from Verity or others, you might wait until the model becomes available. The support team at Verity Software House can help you find out if a model is available, and in some cases, we may be interested in working with you to build a model for your application! We expect that as the program evolves, we'll learn ways to simplify or automate the model-building process. When we reach that stage, the differences between Model Builders and GemStone Analyzers will become less important. After all, the goal is to make GemStone the tool that everyone uses for flow cytometry data analysis! Want to learn more?We are offering regular training classes for folks who want to become GemStone model builders. These 2-day sessions are a lot of fun and give you an in-depth understanding of how to build models for your data. Contact for details and scheduling. We are also updating our GemStone videos on a regular basis to show all kinds of features in the program. We'll add these videos to our online video library as well as youtube. Ready to download?Below you will find links for downloading GemStone for Window and for Mac platforms. You may also want to download the sample files so that you can follow the tutorials in the online help. If you want to build your own GemStone models, start with the Model Building tutorials.
