How Cytely works

02Your labs, any site

Several microscopes, one study

Connect microscopes in different labs or cities. Replicate a working assay for another site and both sites run the same workflow with the same gates, so their numbers can be compared directly.

03Your labs, any site

Old images, new answers

You don't need a live connection to start. Drag in past experiments from any instrument and run a validated assay or a proven workflow on them. Acquisition metadata comes along.

04Cytely platform

Everything lands in one place

Images from every microscope, every site and every upload arrive in one central place with their acquisition metadata, ready to analyse side by side.

05Cytely platform

Say what you want to measure

Let Cytely build the workflow for you, or connect simple steps yourself without code. Start from a pre-validated assay or replicate a colleague's workflow. Every change is saved as a version you can roll back.

06Cytely platform

Start from a validated assay

The assay library holds ready-made workflows for common questions in immunology, infection, cell fitness and more. Pick one, run it on your own images on day one, and get the same method every time.

07Cytely platform

Measured as it lands

Your workflow runs on each image as it arrives, so every cell is found and measured while the microscope is still working. The method is the same every time, whoever runs it.

08Cytely platform

Know while it's still running

Because analysis runs during acquisition, a failed stain or an empty well shows up straight away. Stop the run before it costs you hours of microscope time and reagents.

09Cytely platform

Every data point is a cell you can see

Draw a gate on a scatter plot and the gallery and plate map update instantly. Every number leads back to the cell it came from, so results can always be checked against the image.

10Cytely platform

Go back for the cells that matter

Gate the cells worth a closer look, such as a rare phenotype, and Cytely sends the microscope back to image just those at higher resolution. Image everything quickly, then spend high-resolution time where it matters.

Re-imaging runs on supported microscope configurations.

11Downstream analysis and sharing

Ask your own data a question

Continue in the Data Explorer and the Analysis Notebook. Ask questions about your images and measurements in plain language, and the assistant builds the figures.

12Downstream analysis and sharing

Into the tools you already use

Export every per-cell measurement as CSV and open it in your graphing app, R or Python. Each row is still tied to its cell in Cytely.

13Downstream analysis and sharing

Shared across your team

Raw images, metadata, workflows, results and analyses live in one place, with role-based access so each person sees and edits what they should. Share links let outside collaborators explore your results without editing them or seeing your other experiments.
