Label-free
Characterize cells using their intrinsic biophysical properties — no labels, no modification.
Decoding cells through motion
Label-free biophysical phenotyping of living cells
SpinCell enables label-free single-cell analysis by measuring intrinsic electrical and mechanical properties at single-cell resolution.
Real microscopy
Living cells
Measure native cellular properties in real time, in their natural state.
High-throughput
Built for scale, enabling population-level insights across diverse cell types.
Technology
How SpinCell works
Electro-acoustic fields induce cell rotation, spinning data reveals intrinsic biophysical properties.
01
Excite
Electro-acoustic fields are applied to suspended cells. No labels and no complex preparation necessary.
02
Spin
Real microscopy
Cells spin differently depending on their physical properties. Motion is distinguished for each individual cell.
03
Decode
Spin data is analyzed and converted into physical properties for each individual cell.
Applications
Applications of single-cell analysis
Explore how electrical and mechanical cell properties can inform drug discovery, cancer research and cell quality studies.
Pharma R&D
Drug response
Explore label-free drug response through changes in cellular electrical and mechanical properties. A biophysical perspective on single-cell drug screening and drug-response heterogeneity.
Cancer research
Cancer phenotyping
Study cancer cell mechanics and electrical behaviour to explore physical biomarkers. Research in MCF-7 and HeLa cells shows sensitivity to culture conditions and cytoskeletal changes.
