High Level Overview

The Cytek Aurora leverages full spectrum technology to provide unprecedented flexibility to scientists, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application. The Aurora system delivers high-resolution data at the single-cell level to resolve the most challenging cell populations, such as cells with high autofluorescence or low levels of expression of key biomarkers, regardless of assay complexity.

SpectroFlo® software offers an intuitive workflow from QC to data analysis with technology-enabling tools that simplify running applications.

Icon

So Many Colors

Up to 40 colors demonstrated including fluorochromes with emission spectra in close proximity to each other.
Icon

Exceptional Sensitivity

Sensitivity redefined using state of the art optics and low noise electronics.
Icon

A New Level of Flexibility

No changing optical filters for any fluorochrome. Use any commercially available fluorochrome excited by the onboard lasers.

Technology

With up to five lasers, three scattering channels, and 64 fluorescence channels, the Aurora system is highly flexible, intuitive and ultra-sensitive. With its intuitive optical design, compact footprint and upgradeability from 3 to 5 laser configurations, the Aurora system suits every laboratory’s needs from simple to high complexity applications.

Proprietary high sensitivity Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) semiconductor detector arrays enables more efficient spectrum capture for dyes emitting in the 365-829 nm range. CWDM full spectrum technology unlocks each fluorochrome to express themselves fully across the entire light spectrum.

The state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics provide excellent sensitivity and resolution. Flat-top beam profiles, combined with a uniquely designed fluidics system, translate to outstanding performance at high sample flow rates.

40 Colors

Until recently, developing fluorescence-based flow cytometry assays with 40 colors has been merely aspirational, with many turning to competing technologies for high-parameter applications. No longer. With 64 fluorescence detectors and only 5 lasers, the Cytek Aurora now has the capability to resolve up to 40 colors in combination. Cytek has developed a 40-color human immunophenotyping panel acquired from a single tube, with outstanding resolution.
