Reimagining Cell Analysis to Fuel Scientific Discovery
Cytek Biosciences is committed to providing powerful solutions that enable scientists to rapidly, efficiently obtain deep biological insights through high quality, high parametric datasets.
We are on a mission to advance cancer and cell biology research using a powerful cell analysis technique called flow cytometry.
We are satisfying long unmet needs in fields of research such as cancer biology, immunology and genomics – and helping to advance our collective understanding and diagnosis of cancer. Our products are used at many of the world’s most renown pharmaceutical and CRO firms and cancer research institutions.
As a company, we seek to maintain high ethical standards and a culture that values honesty, integrity and transparency in all that we do. Company decisions are driven by what is right for scientific discovery and customer support. We are committed to our employees, to the environment in which we live and to the communities we serve worldwide.
Our Achievements
The Aurora
In 2017, we launched our flagship product, the Aurora. Leveraging powerful fiber optic technology and spectral analysis, the Aurora has revolutionized the flow cytometry industry. It is considered the premier flow cytometer, and leads the way in the field of high-parametric cytometry.
Read More40 Color Flow Cytometry
Always ready for new challenges, we continually update and push the boundaries of our flow cytometry solutions. In 2019, using a five-laser Aurora, a team of Cytek scientists developed, optimized, and successfully ran a 40-color application panel in one sample tube. This achievement gives scientists the ability to obtain deeper insights from a limited sample at a fraction of the time and cost, compared to other systems. The Aurora is the world’s first commercialized fluorescence-based flow cytometer to produce high quality 40-color data.
Read MoreGlobal Adoption
Cytek products have been well received in more than 20 countries across five continents. Our solutions are rapidly gaining traction with scientists and clinicians around the globe: more than 200 of Cytek’s advanced flow cytometry systems have been installed in the field.
