Our online data portal provides access to your images and data at any time using a browser and personal login. The condensed results of the image and data analyses are available in compelling visualizations. In addition, the data can be easily managed, stored and backed up. Individual compilations of the data allow a quick comparison of different scientific experiments.
Our analysis modules are designed for numerous different applications from long-term growth behavior, over collective and single cell migration, wound healing, clustering behavior, viability, morphology, to highly sophisticated evaluations revealing a cell lines’ phenotypic fingerprint.
Applications – Scientific Research.
Cell proliferation
Cell proliferation plays an important role in cancer research and drug discovery. Real-time proliferation dynamics will give you new insights and will improve reproducibility in your experiments.
Differential growth by cell type
Proliferation analysis
Cell clustering
Cellwatcher enables long-term monitoring and quantitative analysis of cluster-growing cell lines, capturing their expansion dynamics, morphology, and spatial organization within large fields of view over multiple days.
Cluster distribution
Cluster propagation
Wound healing
Automatic analyses of scratches not only save a lot of time, but also provide rich information on migration behavior, speed, spatial and temporal distribution.
Drug dependent scratch closure
Sensitive vs. resistant cells
Cell migration
Cellwatcher’s optics bring you a unique option for collective cell motility analysis and single-cell tracking over hundreds of cells, over multiple days, within large fields of view.
Lineage trees
Diffusion analysis
Applications – Quality management.
Login to your PHIOme data dashboard to get a quick overview of your cell lines. Profit from your cell performance database to gain new insights about your cells.
Cell culture calender
Analysis of passaging tolerances
Thawing & infection behavior
Split confluence dependency
Weekday vs weekend growth
Track your cell line over many passages and benefit from evaluations of cell culture and handling performances. Reveal hidden dependencies of your cell line’s behavior to establish your own cell culture quality standards.
Evolution of phenotype
Analysis of cell differentiation
Fingerprint of three cell lines
We keep track of cell growth, motion and clustering over the whole culturing time and provide subsequent analysis and phenotypic fingerprinting.

Prof. Mitchell Levesque
University Hospital Zurich, Dermatology
“Cellwatcher helps us monitor the proliferation of highly hetero-geneous patient-derived melanoma cells in real-time. By actively measuring growth and motility inside the incubator, we can increase the reproducibility of our experiments.”
Prof. Verena Paulitschke
Medical University of Vienna, Dermatology
“Our primary cells are very sensitive and their cultivation is a challenge. The Cellwatcher helps us with exact documentation of their vitality parameters.”
Dr. Andreas Roidl
LMU Munich, Pharmaceutical Biotechnology
“Cellwatcher allows us to observe changes in cell growth and cell migration in real time and makes it possible to investigate the kinetics of novel drug candidates without using lots of endpoint assays.”
Prof. Joachim Rädler
LMU Munich, Physics
“An efficient and scalable system for monitoring quantifiable viability parameters of several cell lines in an incubator allowed us to standardize our cell culture conditions, and is a great support in our cell biophysics research.”
