Cell Morphology & Phenotypic Profiling
Measures the size, shape, and fluorescence intensity of individual cells across multiple markers.
- Ch1: DAPI (nuclear stain)
- Ch2-4: cell body stain, cytoskeletal marker, or protein-of-interest channels (IF or fluorescent tags)
- Area
- Circularity
- Elongation
- Perimeter per cell
- Mean/median/min/max intensity per channel
Everything you need for cell morphology & phenotypic profiling
Automated, reproducible, and code-free analysis in the cloud

How it runs
Cytely automates the image analysis so you can focus on the science.
Segment nuclei from DAPI
Optionally expand to approximate cell boundary or use a second channel for cell body segmentation
Measure morphological and intensity features per cell across all channels
Explore and gate interactively using 2D scatter plots.
Compatibility
Supported
Nuclear-only morphology, whole-cell morphology (with cell body stain), multi-channel intensity profiling (up to 4 channels), brightfield cell segmentation, interactive population gating for cell type classification.
Not yet supported
Texture features (Haralick), machine-learning-based phenotype classifiers, cell shape embeddings.

Loved by researchers
Hear from researchers who use Cytely every day.
The data-driven approach that Cytely offers is a dream to an experienced microscopist like me.
This completely removes bias. The price is negligible when you consider the time spent on image analysis.
It's just amazing what can be done today! Cytely does all the work for me!
Cytely makes me 10 times faster. It saves hours on every experiment.
The insight we gained from Cytely was a completely transformative experience. It allowed us to redesign our experiment and finally move the project forward.
Cytely dramatically improved our timelines while enhancing data reliability through automated, unbiased analysis and significantly larger sample sizes.
With Cytely, we instantly analyzed thousands of cells to precisely identify which were transfected, infected, or both. What had been a three-year roadblock was resolved in our first session.
