Cytek® Aurora
The Cytek® Aurora offers unprecedented assay flexibility and panel complexity thanks to our unique, full-spectrum optical design. With up to 5 lasers and 64 fluorescent detectors, the Cytek® Aurora can capture the entire emission spectrum from each fluorochrome. This makes it possible to now run 40 colors in one tube, a first for 40 fluorescence-based flow cytometry.
40 Colors, 1 Tube. A New Reality.

We might consider getting a second unit!
Multicolor phenotyoping
Excellent Engineering service and Tech Support. My team loves the ease of use and the ease of panel design for large panels and the ease of running 96 well plate samples. Would be nice to have it as a 21CFR part 11 compliant instrument and incorporated software that would let you do HD data analysis.

Great reproducible data and user friendly
Analysis of Immune cell profile and phenotypes
User-friendly and intuitive software. We are able to resolve most cell populations of interest, especially with the autofluorescence correction. Able to run up to 30 or more colors panel without too much headache in post-acquisition compensation/ unmixing correction and analysis. Generally, we need to use a lower concentration of antibodies as the machine is pretty sensitive, hence we save on antibodies cost as well. The passing of tubes can be somewhat slow due to the sitting flush in between samples (inevitable).

Amazing beginner-friendly flow cytometer!
Flow cytometry
The Cytek Aurora flow cytometer has been an amazing tool for my osteoimmunology research. This instrument was my introduction to flow cytometry completely, and I have had a pleasant experience learning to use it. With the help of my mentor and our core staff, I have run into few issues. Further, the SpectroFlo software has a great user interface that is beginner-friendly and useful for optimizing a large number of antibodies in a customized panel. I look forward to learning more and developing rigorous protocols to get the most out of my studies.

Easy to use system that allows for a flexible approach.
Flow Cytometry in Neurology
Extremely easy to use system that allowed a more streamline approach to look at different protein subsets of particular cells within the brain. This system allowed us to verify additional data and added a unique look at existing data.

Game changer.
High parameter flow cytometry methods
The Cytek Aurora is a game changer. It is of excellent value, has a small footprint, and can achieve much higher resolution, high-parameter data than conventional cytometers. Cytek has been a pleasure to work with in terms of both sales and technical support, and the Aurora is an extremely powerful and easy to use cytometer.

- 40 colors in one tube, all with outstanding resolution. Well suited for high-parameter applications such as deep immunophenotyping and immuno-oncology.
- Capable of running highly overlapping dyes together on co-expressed markers in the same panel (e.g. APC and Alexa 647).
- Easier experimental design and more flexible panels with less spillover and spread considerations.
- Extract autofluorescence from samples, improving resolution in normally problematic sample types (e.g. tumors, lung tissue homogenate).
- Upgradable from 3-lasers (violet, blue, red) and 38 fluorescence detectors to 5 lasers (UV, violet, blue, yellow-green, red) and 64 fluorescence detectors.
- Superior sensitivity and better resolution of rare and dim populations with Avalanche Photodiode (APD) detectors.
- Ability to standardize setup and data across instruments and across sites.
- Optional plate loader to automate sample acquisition using 96-well plates.
