Cyt
ek Aurora cytometerThe Cytek Aurora is a 5-laser, high-parameter spectral cytometer capable of detecting up to 30 distinct fluorochromes simultaneously. Using an array of 64 detectors, the Aurora examines the entire emission spectra of fluorochromes and uses linear unmixing to investigate the individual parameters. This allows for the combination of highly similar dyes with overlapping emission peaks that would be otherwise indistinguishable on a conventional cytometer. Equipped with 5-lasers (355, 405, 488, 561, and 640nm), the Aurora can be used with most commercially available fluorochromes. It also features a 96-well plate sampler, allowing for easier workflow and automated sample acquisition.
Prior-experience with flow cytometry and specialized training are required to use this advanced cytometer; please contact the facility staff to arrange. Staff are also available to assist in panel design and experiment consultation.
