Cytek Aurora Spectral Flow Cytometer (369 Jones):
5 Lasers: 355, 405, 488, 561, and 640nm
Parameters: 64 fluorescent detectors, plus SSC, vSSC and FSC The Cytek Aurora is a high-parameter spectral cytometer capable of detecting up to 64 fluorochromes simultaneously. Using its 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. With the 405nm Side Scatter detector (vSSC), this instrument is ideal for the detection of particles as small as 80nm.View or Download Aurora Configuration
