Contract Research Service

VisionSort® Contract Research Services

ThinkCyte has launched a contract research service to make our cell analysis and sorting using VisionSort more accessible to scientists. The service is designed to support flexible research needs, including pilot testing prior to instrument adoption and project-based analyses for specific research objectives, including studies intended for publication.

Using the VisionSort installed in ThinkCyte’s laboratory, we will analyze and sort cell samples provided by customers. The service offers the following key features and core services:

  • Label-free cell profiling based on morphological information

    Enables AI-driven cell profiling and sorting based on high-definition morphological information without relying on conventional markers.

  • Minimizing damage to cells
    By sorting cells without staining and in a gentle environment using disposable microfluidic chips, the impact on live cells is minimized.
  • Initial consultation regarding your target samples
  • Sample measurement (provided by the customer) 
  • Machine-learning model training and evaluation
  • Data analysis report
  • Providing sorted cells (for the Sorting Plan only)

Sample measurement and data analysis scope can be tailored to your research needs upon request. ThinkCyte will individually propose optimal plans tailored to each customer’s research objectives and cell sample types. For service details, consultations, or quotation requests, please contact the dedicated inquiry.

Standard Plan

Ideal for researchers who want to generate data using VisionSort for publications, conference presentations, or grant applications. You can choose from two tailored options:

  • Analysis Only (no sorting)
  • Sorting (includes cell recovery)

Pilot Study

Designed for researchers who want to explore the potential applications of VisionSort and gain practical insight into Ghost Cytometry®. Includes the same basic services as the Standard Plan and is available at a discounted rate.

1. Inquiry

Click “Contact Us” below and submit your request using the designated inquiry form.

2. Introduction

Our representative will provide an overview of our technology and services.

3. Consultation

We will arrange a meeting to discuss your sample measurement requirements and compile them into a Statement of Work (SOW).

4. Quotation and Contracting

  • Based on the SOW, we will issue a formal quotation.

  • If required, we will proceed with signing the necessary agreements, such as a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or Material Transfer Agreement (MTA).

  • Measurements will commence upon receipt of your Purchase Order (PO).

5. Measurement

Using the samples you provide, we will train a machine learning model on VisionSort to acquire and analyze morphological data.

6. Reporting & Delivery

We will generate a comprehensive report of the analysis results and send it to you. (For the Sorting Plan, we will also return the collected cells upon request.) Once you receive these deliverables, we will issue our final invoice.
