Cytek Biosciences Inc.'s mission to make full spectrum flow cytometry accessible to a larger number of scientists continues to resonate with the scientific community. The company has announced that its advanced flow cytometry systems have been purchased by scientists in over 20 countries across five continents. Additionally, robust global sales have led Cytek to expand operations in order to keep up with demand. The company has opened new offices in Tokyo and Amsterdam to better engage with and support customers.

Cytek is establishing itself as the gold standard for flow cytometry, particularly in fast-growing clinical research fields such as immunology and immunotherapy. Over the years, the company has worked diligently to combine its vast pool of technical expertise with a profound market understanding, to evolve from a service provider to solution provider. Cytek's systems provide ease of use, an unusually high performance-to-price ratio, experimental design flexibility, and high-quality data. Additionally, its five laser flow cytometer makes 40 colors possible and to date, is the only commercialized fluorescence-based flow cytometry platform capable of doing so.

“This latest achievement is strong evidence that labs around the world are embracing our technology and what we stand for,” noted Dr. Wenbin Jiang, CEO of Cytek Biosciences. “The Cytek name is becoming synonymous with innovation and superb data quality, delivered at a fraction of the price of other technologies and flow cytometry systems. Our roadmap has us continuing to expand our global footprint and continuing to give scientists the tools and support they need to advance their research.”

Cytek® Aurora

Cytek Biosciences

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.

Flow Cytometry / Cell CountingFlow cytometers are used to count, sort and examine multiple characteristics of cells. Other cell analysis equipment includes image cytometers, cell counters, fluorescence-activated cell sorters (FACS), magnetic-activated cell sorters (MACS), and a range of flow cytometry assay kits. Flow cytometers can reveal information on cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis and cell cycle progression, as well as identify cell populations and intracellular or cell-surface molecules. Additionally, some flow cytometers, known as FACS, have an additional sorting function after analysis. Cell counters and image cytometers count live and dead cell populations and can also conduct cell proliferation assays. Find the best flow cytometers, cell counters and cell sorters in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.FluorescenceThe emission of fluorescence occurs when a photon of energy is supplied to a fluorescent chemical compound by an external source, causing it to become excited. Fluorescence can be detected and measured for different purposes using microplate readers, fluorescence microscopes, fluorescence scanners, and flow cytometers.
