Beyond the Marker: AI-Powered Label-Free Morphology Profiling for Single-Cell Characterization and Sorting
What if the most profound biological stories are hidden not on a cell's surface, but within its very structure? This talk introduces a transformative, label-free approach that challenges the limits of marker-based cytometry.
We will unveil the REM-I platform, which uses deep learning and advanced microfluidics to sort live cells based on intrinsic morphology. In real-time, its AI interprets subtle features—like organelle rearrangement and chromatin texture—to build a high-dimensional, label-free profile for each cell.
Through compelling case studies in oncology and cell therapy, you will discover how this technology uncovers rare populations and dynamic cell states that are invisible to standard markers.
This isn't about replacing your workflow; it’s about supercharging it. Join us to learn how to use morphology as a primary, high-content readout and unlock a powerful new axis of information in your single-cell research.

Xdrop®: Advancing Single-Cell Functional Analysis through Droplet Flow Cytometry
In this presentation, Dr. Bárbara Schlicht will introduce Xdrop, a platform that encapsulates single cells into flow cytometry-compatible droplets, enabling high-throughput functional analysis using standard flow cytometers and sorters. We will demonstrate how Xdrop can be applied across various research fields, including immunology and cell therapy, by showcasing practical case studies and results from recent technical notes. This session will highlight how combining Xdrop with traditional flow cytometers and sorters allows for the analysis of not only single cells but also the entire cellular environment contained within the droplets. This enables the sorting of single cells based on functional readouts and secretome profiling, providing researchers with unparalleled insights into cellular behavior and interactions.
