Cytek Aurora

The Cytek Aurora is a flexible, easy to use spectral flow cytometer, offering the ability to run high complexity assays using a simplified workflow giving high-fidelity data. The unique optics of the Aurora offer a one solution approach using its standardised optical bench to sample light from 365nm to 830nm for multiple laser excitation lines to spectrally sample fluorophores allowing for better discrimination of these dyes. This "spectral approach" requires no optical configuration adjustments by the operator and allows for the use of a broader range of dyes when compared to conventual flow.

The Aurora offers unprecedented fluorochrome flexibility allowing for the use of highly overlapping dyes such as APC and AF647 in conjunction enabling panels more than 24 colours to achieve a 3-laser (Violet, Blue and Red configuration. This provides researchers with greater choice in reagent options and allowing for larger panels to be formed, reducing sample burden, research costs per assay and increasing research power.

The Aurora offers:
• The ability to remove autofluorescence in high-auto fluorescent tissue to and to use this as a parameter to improve antigen resolution.
• The ability to consolidate panels through using highly overlapping dyes to accurately discern subsets in high density panels more than 24 colours.
• The measurement of SSC off the violet and blue laser lines provide high sensitivity to resolve particles such as EVs nearing 100nm."
