Technology
High Level Overview
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.
Aurora Laser system
3 to 5 laser configurations
Light Spectrum
365-829 nm range
State-of-the-art Optics
Flat-top beam profiles
Deep Immunoprofiling
The Cytek Aurora’s use of full spectrum flow cytometry combined with the SpectroFlo® software’s real-time unmixing capability provides greater fluorochrome choice and panel flexibility and allows users to quickly visualize data and statistics. All this results in the ultimate flow cytometry solution for deep immunoprofiling, from 24 colors all the way to 40 colors.
24 Colors
The three-laser configuration provides outstanding multi-parametric data for a wide array of applications. Check out how markers and fluorochromes in a 24-color panel designed for identification of circulating cell subsets in human peripheral blood look when run on the Aurora system.

Red Excited Dyes Emission Spectra
40 Colors
Until recently, developing fluorescence-based flow cytometry assays with 40 colors has been merely aspirational, with many turning to competing technologies for high-parameter applications. No longer. With 64 fluorescence detectors and only 5 lasers, the Cytek Aurora now has the capability to resolve up to 40 colors in combination. Cytek has developed a 40-color human immunophenotyping panel acquired from a single tube, with outstanding resolution.

High Level Overview
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.
Everyday Immunoprofiling
Full spectrum flow cytometry opens a wide range of new possibilities. The Northern Lights allows scientists to run complex multicolor experiments with as few as one or two lasers. The unique optical system enables the use of dyes with highly overlapping peak emissions without sacrificing resolution, translating to more flexibility in dye choice.
21 Colors
With 30 fluorescence detectors and only 2 lasers (405 and 488 nm), the Cytek® Northern Lights enables multi-parametric data collection with few lasers to maintain. Cytek has developed a 21-color human immunophenotyping panel acquired from just a single tube, with outstanding resolution.
9 Colors
The one laser (488 nm) Cytek® Northern Lights can perform 9-color immunoprofiling assays with no sacrifice to data quality. In this 9-color blue laser excitable dyes panel, monocytes and several CD4 T cell and CD8 T cell subsets were easily identified.
SpectroFlo
A new approach to flow cytometry acquisition software.
