Applications
Investigating COVID-19 Immune Response with the Cytek Aurora
Solutions for Infectious Disease Research
There are many infectious diseases, such as Ebola, HIV/AIDS, and Zika, that continue to challenge human health, with certainly more to emerge. Providing scientists with powerful, capable research solutions promote the development of new treatments to effectively battle the constantly evolving infectious disease landscape.
Technologies that Enable Immunotherapies: Part I
Advanced Immuno-Oncology Solutions
These therapies may inhibit or enhance different aspects of the immune response, depending on the action needed to hinder and destroy the life-threatening cancer cells within the human host.
High Dimensional Flow Cytometric Analysis of Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient Synovial Biopsies
Advanced Solutions for Inflammation Research
Cures for many of these diseases remain undiscovered, and better treatments to make the disease manageable and extend the patient’s longevity are needed. To make these discoveries possible, scientists need access to technologically advanced, powerful research solutions.
Drug Discovery
In the pharmaceutical industry, screening drug candidates quickly at statistically powerful sample sizes enables efficient allocation of resources to new product development. There are a wide variety of drug screening assays complimenting the wide variety of different drug purposes and their mechanisms. For example, protein quantification assays are used to assess drugs designed to induce protein secretions from cells and look for protein-protein interactions; virus quantification assays are critical to assess efficacy of anti-viral drug candidates; and cytotoxicity assays evaluate cell viability after exposure to potential cancer therapeutic agents.
High-throughput technologies capable of analyzing precious patient samples with the flexibility to support a variety of assays are crucial to the everyday work of drug discovery researchers. High-throughput flow cytometers like the Cytek Aurora and Cytek Northern Lights equipped with plate loader option enable researchers to successfully conduct these drug screening assays in their search for new compounds and cell function regulators.
Check out these publications to learn more about the role of flow cytometry in drug discovery research and learn how Cytek Aurora and Cytek Northern Lights can enable drug discovery workflows in your lab.
Genomics
Decipher genetic information for each and every cell
Leveraging Sequencing Data to Design Fast Immunoprofiling Flow Cytometry Assays
In the search for differentiable cell characteristics that correlate to disease states and symptom severity, researchers collect, sequence, and compare samples from patients and healthy individuals to search for clues. While gene sequencing technologies provide rich datasets, the results can take several days to obtain and review.
Translating findings from the sequencing data to a faster technology like the full spectrum flow cytometer Cytek Aurora, where the time to result is a few hours or less, enables clinicians to get the information they need to help their patients sooner.

Immunoprofiling
Why is Immunoprofiling Important?
Quantitatively capturing a glimpse of an organism’s immune system provides useful information for many applications. This concept of immunoprofiling is vital for biomarker discovery for cancer therapeutics, understanding diseases by comparing immune phenotypes of healthy individuals with diseased, determining vaccine efficacy, and more.
Flow cytometry is a key immunoprofiling tool evidenced by its growing adoption and use by researchers. As the multiplexing capabilities of flow cytometers like the Cytek Aurora® continue to expand to 40 parameters and beyond, more complete immune system snapshots are obtained.
