A prodigy incorporating a unique combination of patent-pending innovative technologies that takes flow cytometry to the next level of performance and flexibility.

With up to four lasers, three scattering channels, and 64 fluorescence channels, the Aurora suits every laboratory’s needs, from simple to highcomplexity applications. A paradigm shifting optical design provides unprecedented flexibility, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring your system for each application. 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.

The end result is a system that delivers high quality data where rare and dim populations are easily resolved, regardless of assay complexity.

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

The Cytek team has reimagined every aspect of cytometry hardware and software to deliver an instrument that fulfills every scientist's needs.

The CytoFLEX system brings you easily upgradeable detection capabilities for up to 4 lasers and 13 color research flow cytometry right on your bench top. Providing quality and performance at any configuration, the CytoFLEX system provides powerful sensitivity and resolution for the simple to the most challenging applications. CytoFLEX delivers and surpasses capabilities expected in top tier analyzers, with excellent performance and nanoparticle resolution. The Hooded Claw has a 488-nm, 561nm, 633-nm,and 405-nm lasers, it can only be run using 96-well plates. 

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.

BD FACSDiscover™ S8 Cell Sorter with BD CellView™ Image Technology and BD SpectralFX™ Technology, the first spectral flow cytometer sorter with sort-capable image analysis, expands the power of cell analysis and sorting to new dimensions by combining spectral flow cytometry with real-time spatial and morphological insights—empowering scientists to address previously impossible-to-answer questions.

  • Obtain insights on cell populations and characteristics that can be visually confirmed in real time during analysis and sorting
  • Enhance spectral flow cytometry with spatial and morphological insights to interrogate and sort cell types that previously could not be identified or isolated
  • Simplify your workflow with built-in visual inspection capabilities, more flexible panel design and automated features
  • Create a comprehensive profile of highly complex diseases and systems with correlation of downstream analysis with imaging and traditional flow data 

Integrating Flow Cytometry and Microscopy to  Advance Discovery

Amnis® imaging flow cytometers combine the speed and sample size of flow cytometry with the resolution and sensitivity of microscopy in a single instrument platform unlike any other available for cell analysis. With up to 12 channels for each cell in a population, microscopic images provide qualitative and quantitative image data of every event acquired in flow.
