I need a word to describe the state of being the only one of something. For context, it's for the UI of a scientific device that detects and analyzes cells. In this particular case, we are talking about a particular cell that the device has judged to be the only one there.
The phrase needs to be short, so I want to use "Judgment of *". "Singularity" would appear to be the perfect word for what I am looking for — if it hadn't already been taken for a very different meaning.
Any other suggestions?
I really think there must be a word for this; it seems a pretty basic concept. I have a feeling that maybe I am simply not seeing an obvious choice…

What about uniqueness, meaning the state of being the only if its kind?
