Cytek Aurora Borealis

The Cytek Aurora is equipped with four lasers – blue (488nm), violet (405nm), yellow-green (561nm) and red (640nm), 3 scattering channels, up to 48 fluorescence detectors and a plate loader. Spectral fingerprints of each fluorochrome are recorded and then unmixed in a highly multicolor experiment. As a result of this approach, combinations of fluorochromes that previously were incompatible to run together by conventional flow cytometric methods are now possible with this technology. Running CFSE, GFP, and A488 or DAPI, BV421, and Pacific Blue are no longer a problem. As long as a fluorochrome’s spectral fingerprint is distinct from another they can be unmixed.  The Automatic Micro-Sampling System (AMS) utilizes 96 well plate acquisition for maximum productivity.
