• Abstract: Label-free, image-based cellular mechanophenotyping in microfluidic devices provides a high-throughput method for single-cell profiling. However, while complex microchannels (e.g., hyperbolic geometries) reveal transient deformation dynamics under continuous extensional stress, the resulting high-dimensional feature spaces are highly susceptible to hydrodynamic artifacts. Flow rate variations often distort discriminative boundaries, linking feature distributions to fluid conditions rather than intrinsic biology. To overcome this, we introduce a stability-guided analytical framework that decouples flow-induced noise from authentic mechanobiological signatures. We tracked the morphodynamic, kinematic, and intracellular optical-density trajectories of healthy and malignant ovarian cells to build a 93-dimensional feature space. Using a cross-flow screening strategy based on structural consistency and statistical persistence, we isolated robust descriptors, creating task-adapted subsets (20 features for binary classification; 25 for cancer subtyping). Variance-attribution analysis confirmed the neutralization of flow-conditioned artifacts; notably, flow-associated variance in the primary principal component fell from 69.9% to 9.3% in the subtyping task. We also found that macroscopic binary discrimination depends on bulk kinematic transitions, while clonal subtyping requires localized intracellular optical heterogeneity. These optimized subsets maintained diagnostic fidelity across multiple machine learning architectures and restricted sampling conditions. This framework establishes a robust, flow-independent foundation for continuous dynamic phenotyping.
