Cytek Biosciences

Full Spectrum Flow Cytometry for All

The Cytek Northern Lights is a full spectrum flow cytometer that shifts the paradigm in what scientists expect to see in performance from an affordable one-to-three laser system. Cytek Northern Lights incorporates the same groundbreaking technologies as the Aurora system, allowing for a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring your system for each application. The Northern Lights, with its easy-to-use workflow is the highly valuable full spectrum flow solution for everyday research applications.

Key Features

• High Value

Upgradeable from one laser and nine colors to three lasers and 24 colors, there is a Northern Lights configuration to fit your needs

• Remarkable Sensitivity

​Sensitivity redefined using state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics

• Easy, Flexible, and Intuitive

One configuration for all assay, use any commercially available fluorochrome, intuitive software

• Low Cost of Ownership

​Use fewer lasers to run more colors for greater cost savings and less setup time between experiments

A prodigy that’s taking flow cytometry to the next level of performance and flexibility

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.

Key Features

• Up to 40 colors

Demonstrated including fluorochromes with emission spectra in close proximity to each other.

• Exceptional Sensitivity

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

• A New Level of Flexibility

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

The Cytek Aurora CS was designed to leverage the paradigm-shifting technology onboard the Cytek Aurora system and deliver the sorting capabilities you have come to expect in a high-end sorter.

Like Aurora, the CS provides the benefits of Full Spectrum Profiling (FSP™) technology. Its optical design and unmixing algorithm provide scientists remarkable flexibility, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application. The state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics provide high-resolution, high-content and high sensitivity.

The result is a system that delivers high resolution 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, and to isolate live cells for downstream studies.

Key Features

• So Many Colors

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

• Exceptional Sensitivity

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

• A New Level of Flexibility

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

• Seamless Sorting

Transfer assays with ease, experience automated drop delay, clog detection, sort monitoring, and sort reporting.
