AI Image Analysis Toolbox for Cell Biology
Modern cell biology experiments generate large image datasets across multiple conditions and replicates. As experiments scale, interpretation becomes the bottleneck, not imaging. SnapCyte provides an AI image analysis toolbox designed to apply consistent analysis rules across cell biology assays, supporting confluency, cell counting, migration, and viability analysis.
Supported Assays
What Can You Analyze Today?
Adherent Cells
Count adherent cells directly in the well—no trypsinization or detachment needed. SnapCyte® analyzes brightfield images to deliver accurate, label-free counts. Ideal for preserving cells for downstream workflows like treatment, RNA extraction, or in vivo injection.
Suspension Cells
For single-cell suspensions (post-trypsinization or naturally suspended cultures), SnapCyte® supports automated counting and viability analysis using Trypan Blue. Just upload a hemocytometer image—SnapCyte® handles the rest.
Compatible with images form digital microscope or phone + adapter setups.
Measure confluency from brightfield with no staining required. Use it to calculate doubling time, standardize plating density, or ensure cells reach the right confluency before treatment.
With timepoint imaging, cell confluency and adherent count can be used to monitor growth curves for drug studies—offering a non-invasive way to track cell behavior over time without relying on absorbance or high-cost live-cell imaging systems.
Traditional invasion/transwell migration assays require manual counting or ImageJ-based analysis, which can be time-consuming and inconsistent. SnapCyte® automates this process by detecting and quantifying invaded cell areas as a percentage, giving researchers fast and objective results.

Why SnapCyte?
Designed for Real-World Lab Workflows.
SnapCyte™ was built by researchers who were tired of slow, inconsistent, and manual analysis workflows. Unlike ImageJ, which often requires macros, staining, or manual thresholding, SnapCyte™ automates your most common assays—cell counting, confluency, and invasion analysis—in a few clicks.
Whether you’re prepping a figure or validating growth before treatment, SnapCyte™ provides fast, reproducible results from standard brightfield or fluorescence images. No plugins. No coding. No waiting.
