Endpoint Receptor Internalization

Compares membrane-associated and intracellular receptor signal at a fixed endpoint to quantify internalization.

Input channels
  • Ch1: DAPI or cell mask
  • Ch2: labeled receptor, ligand, or antibody
  • Optional Ch3: surface-only counterstain or endosomal marker
Output metrics
  • Membrane-associated intensity
  • Intracellular receptor intensity
  • Membrane-to-interior ratio
  • Internal receptor puncta count per cell

Chief Scientific OfficerEuropean Contract Research Organization

The data-driven approach that Cytely offers is a dream to an experienced microscopist like me.

Professor in Muscle BiologyLeading European Research University

This completely removes bias. The price is negligible when you consider the time spent on image analysis.

Hematology ResearcherHematology Researcher

It's just amazing what can be done today! Cytely does all the work for me!

Infection Medicine ResearcherDoctoral Student, Lund University

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.

SwathiCancer Mechanobiology Researcher

Cytely dramatically improved our timelines while enhancing data reliability through automated, unbiased analysis and significantly larger sample sizes.
