Multi-Marker Foci Association

Detects puncta in two channels independently and scores their association per cell via count-based colocalization. Used to determine whether foci of one type co-occur with foci of another type within the same cells.

Input channels
  • Ch1: DAPI
  • Ch2: foci marker A
  • Ch3: foci marker B
Output metrics
  • Foci count per channel per cell
  • Count ratio of marker A to marker B per cell
  • % cells positive for both markers

Everything you need for multi-marker foci association

Automated, reproducible, and code-free analysis in the cloud

Cloud-based

How it runs

Cytely automates the image analysis so you can focus on the science.

01

Segment cells

02

Detect foci in Ch2 and Ch3 independently

03

Count each type per cell and compute ratios. To determine which individual foci from marker A are positive for marker B: detect spots in Ch2 and measure Ch3 intensity in those spots.

Compatibility

Supported

Telomere-associated DNA damage foci (γH2AX + telomere FISH), autophagosome-mitochondria association (LC3 + TOM20 for mitophagy), dual-probe FISH co-expression (% cells expressing gene A and gene B), PLA + cell type marker, any two-channel puncta comparison.

Not yet supported

Per-spot spatial distance measurement between two spot sets, 3D spot association.

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.

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.
