Our Product
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.

A New Level of Flexibility
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.

Autofluorescence Extraction
The Full Spectrum Profiling technology employed by the Aurora can improve data clarity and resolution with autofluorescence extraction. Certain sample types, such as yeast and tumor samples, present difficulty in resolving due to their highly autofluorescent nature. For applications involving highly autofluorescent particles, the SpectroFlo® CS software autofluorescence extraction tool achieves new levels of resolution and increases sorting performance of challenging samples.

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.
