Livecyte
Livecyte is a live-cell imaging system that produces exceptionally high contrast time-lapse videos using Phasefocus’s patented ptychographic quantitative phase imaging (QPI) technology for a range of label-free assays with or without up to seven channels of complementary fluorescence. Automated single-cell tracking algorithms enable users to automatically characterize growth, morphology and motility of large populations of cells in a 96-well plate assay format.

High-contrast
Label-free Imaging
Label-free Imaging
- Livecyte’s QPI technology enables the acquisition of high-contrast images without needing phototoxic illumination or fluorescence labels meaning even the most sensitive cells can be imaged in a non-invasive way.
Automated
Single-cell Tracking
Single-cell Tracking
- State-of-the-art automated tracking algorithms can segment and track individual cells enabling users to monitor their behavior over extended periods of time; not just the behavior of the population average.
Powerful
Integrated Analytics
Integrated Analytics
- Livecyte’s Analyse software provides summarized Dashboards of many different types of behavior, from morphological to motile, in every experiment making laboratory time more productive.
Assay-Level Analysis
- Large fields of view (up to 4mm²) in an assay relevant plate format (up to 96 well plate) and this means the behavior of many cells can be captured making results more statistically robust.
Explore Population
Heterogeneity
Heterogeneity
- Classify cells based on any combination of measured parameters enabling the comparison of subpopulations and how their behavior changes with drug treatment.
Single-cell Lineage
- Quick and easy correction of the automated tracking enables users to determine cell lineage. The properties of these cells can then be monitored over time and viewed in the context of subsequent or previous generations.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
