Intuitive, “six task” assay building environment. Annotate and analyze across an entire plate. Set up plate level analytics like IC/EC50 curves; standard curves are automatically generated.
ForeCyt Software – Interactive assay development, analysis, and multiparameter data visualization
Optimize, Analyze, Visualize, Realize…Faster!
The heart of the Intellicyt platform, ForeCyt® Software, is an interactive assay development, implementation, and analysis environment.
Designed from a screening perspective, ForeCyt Software provides plate level annotation, analytics, and results visualization tools not found in traditional flow-based analysis software packages. From linking well data together to combining multiple assay outcomes together to identify “hits”, the time saving features help you get data insights that drive discovery.
ForeCyt 7.1 Software Upgrade Available Now! –Acquire, Analyze, Visualize, and Present your data with an enhanced ease of use:
- Smart Gates: Automatically Identify Your Population of Interest
- Custom Label Sizing & Image Export: Resize images and axis labels and export in any format
- Back Gating: Identify where the cells within your gate fall in the all events plot
ForeCyt Standard Edition: “Instrument Control and Analysis”
Part of every instrument, ForeCyt software provides the flexibility to set up sample acquisition, probe rinsing, and sampler cleaning any way you want, plate after plate. Once your analysis is created and optimized, it can be turned into a template that can be applied to any number of plates, providing “on-the-fly” analysis and result generation as your plates are processed.
ForeCyt Offline Edition: “Analysis on the Run”
For when you need to analyze your data but are not connected to the instrument. Planes, trains, and automobiles are now just extensions of your office.
ForeCyt Enterprise Edition: “Multi-user Access and Data Sharing”
Designed to be secure and scalable, ForeCyt Enterprise software is a multi-user, multi-instrument data storage and management solution that gives distributed access to remote analysis capabilities using “clients” activated with floating licenses. Some of the advantages for your organization are:
- Security and reliability via centralized data storage, encrypted network communication, and team / user level permissions
- Collaboration via data sharing among multiple users
- Throughput enhancements by running experiments on multiple instruments
- Scalability through enterprise caliber software architecture
- Ease of deployment via simple installers and flexible physical IT layout
ForeCyt Software Features
-
One Stop Workflow
-
Interactive gating with real time results
Easy assay optimization by gating on entire plate of data at once. Moving gates changes resulting data in real time allowing you to see the effects immediately.
-
Generate the data you need and share it
Create custom metrics derived from basic metric building blocks using a simple wizard. All metrics become available for additional analysis, visualization, and/or exporting. A report generation wizard makes it easy to document your work in electronic notebooks and share it across your organization.
-
Data Visualizations linked by well
The unique "Well Scan" function links multiple visualizations so you can quickly see all graphics generated from each well.
-
Make decisions easier with profile mapping
Making sense of high content data and finding the sample with the right activity fingerprint can take a lot of time. We provide a way to combine assay outcomes (profiles) with Boolean logic to help locate the wells that meet your multiplexed criteria.
-
Create a plate level view of all well graphs
With a single mouse click you can make any plot or histogram into a “Plate View” of well data thumbnails to visually compare them.
-
Analyze multiple plates across your experiment
Snapshot your entire experiment with ForeCyt Software’s Panorama. View all plate data together to compare heat maps, identify hits across profile maps, and rank wells by any metric with line graphs.

Release Notes History for the ForeCyt Software
ForeCyt 7.1 (June 2019)
• Support for Enhanced Rinse Station enabled iQue PLUS instruments including increased capacity rinse station cartridges, liquid level status indicators, and an integrated microcentrifuge vortexer
• Smart gating added to Auto-compensation and automatic QC bead lot setup.
• Region gate quadrants now can be renamed to have more meaningful population names
• Heatmaps can display a legend.
• Heatmaps have an option to export just the selected wells.
• Panorama Series label sizes are larger.
• Creating a series now defaults to ascending instead of descending.
• Creating a logical population now defaults to "AND" instead of "OR".
• New Color picker control with area to save custom palette.
• A "What's New" guide now appears when you first start ForeCyt to introduce new features.
• Bulk export from the folder list in Manage Experiments and retain folder structure.
• Ability to Undo gate moves
• Well ID changes are now deferred until you switch off the well ID tab.
• Histogram gate labels are now always visible when scaling histograms or toggling Well Scan mode.
• Database tab added to IntelliCyt Manager to help administrators manage their databases.
• [Fixed] Derived Concentration Metrics always had a minimum value of 0. Now recalculating the shared curve fit will update the minimum value based on the minimum dose.
• [Fixed] Derived Concentration Metrics wouldn't export to CSV with special formatting "<", ">", "*". They will now have the formatting just like Concentration Metrics. To remove the formatting, check the "Remove non-numerical formatted values" in the Export Options.
• ForeCyt Reference Guide updated to 7.1
