Red Matter App is web-based analysis software for flow cytometry analysis. The development team is based out of Ireland. Since its release around 2017, it has gone through several iterations. Initially the software was more focused on cloud-based analysis. However this version was plagued by performance issues as file uploads would take a very long time. Red Matter App was then converted into a browser-based program, more in line with Floreada.io's design. Although this was probably a good direction to take, it's use was limited by a very small feature set, as well as numerous bugs. Most recently as of 2024, the app website seems to be no longer available.
The Red Matter App website is no longer available. The developer of the app has reached out to us and asked us to share this link to the open source repository.

Red Matter App was a decent addition to the free flow cytometry software community, which we at Floreada enjoyed watching evolve for the past several years. The project now unfortunately seems to have been abandoned. If you had previously used it and are now in need of free flow cytometry analysis software, try Floreada.io.
