Representation learning for cell imaging

Your microscopy images
already know more.

Percolatech turns raw cell images into a biological map your team can search, compare, and build on — without hand-labeling every phenotype.

RAW PIXELS → BIOLOGICAL SIGNAL

The shift

Stop treating images
as evidence. Start using
them as data.

Cell imaging holds the record of what your biology is doing. But today, most teams only inspect a sliver of it — after weeks of manual annotation and brittle analysis.

Percolatech learns directly from your image collections. The result is a high-dimensional representation that makes subtle cell states measurable, comparable, and reusable across every experiment.

01

Learn without labels

Find the latent patterns in your images before you know what to call them.

02

Measure what changes

Quantify treatment response, morphology, and state transitions in one shared space.

03

Reuse every experiment

Build a continuously more valuable representation of your biology, not another silo.

From pixels to possibility

One simple loop.
Compounding insight.

Built for the reality of modern cell biology: messy images, evolving questions, and science that can’t wait for perfect labels.

01

Connect your images

Upload a plate, point to your cloud bucket, or integrate your imaging pipeline.

Not another black box

Every run leaves your team with something useful.

01

Searchable phenotype space

Browse any experiment by visual similarity, surface outliers, and turn the clusters you find into a shared biological vocabulary.

02

Exportable model outputs

Take embeddings, per-cell features, and condition-level summaries into your notebooks, LIMS, or downstream machine-learning workflows.

03

Decision-ready readouts

Trace every signal back to the image evidence so scientists can validate, prioritize, and communicate what the model has found.

Straightforward plans

Scale insight,

Built for sensitive science

Your data stays in your orbit.

Percolatech was designed for teams working with valuable, pre-publication biology. You decide who can access a workspace, what gets exported, and where your image data lives.

Talk to security ↗
01

Private by default

Your images and derived representations are isolated from every other customer workspace.

02

Enterprise controls

Role-based access, audit trails, and SSO are available on Foundation.

03

Deployment flexibility

Use our managed cloud or keep data inside your approved cloud environment.

Questions, answered

Before we work
with your images.

What types of images can Percolatech learn from?

We support common microscopy image formats including OME-TIFF, TIFF, PNG, and JPEG. During onboarding, we help map channels and plate metadata so your assay is ready to learn from.

Do we need labels to start?

No. Percolatech learns directly from image structure, morphology, and variation. Labels and assay metadata can be added later to test hypotheses or train targeted classifiers.

How quickly can a team be live?

A focused pilot can begin as soon as we receive a representative assay and its metadata. Most teams have a first searchable representation within days, not months.

Can we use our own storage and cloud environment?

Yes. Foundation includes private-cloud and VPC deployment options for organizations with specific data residency or security requirements.

The frontier is already in your images

what it’s trying to tell you.
