TraCell

Track suspended cells in microfluidic devices, from a recorded video or live from a Phantom high-speed camera. TraCell finds each cell in every frame, links the detections into trajectories, and gives you the tables, plots and videos to analyse them.

What it does

  • Offline tracking

    Open an .avi, .mp4 or .cine file, tune the mask and the contour limits on the live preview, then track a frame range. Stop at any time and keep what was tracked.

  • Live tracking (AutoTrack)

    Records from a Phantom camera partition by partition and tracks each partition while the next one records. Frames stay in RAM, so nothing waits for a disk.

  • Post-processing

    Every tracked point in one sortable table. Filters apply as you drag, the plot shows all filtered trajectories, and a click on a point jumps the video to that frame and cell.

  • Export

    One dialog, one folder: trajectory table, per-cell summary, session notes, the settings as a loadable preset and the video with traces. Excel, CSV or text.

  • Undo, presets and notes

    Every settings change can be undone. Presets save a whole configuration; session notes log what you did and when.

  • Light and dark

    Follows the system theme or your choice in Preferences. TraCell checks for a new version when it starts.
