Know why we do what we do passionately.
A new flow cytometry system that shifts the paradigm in what scientists expect to see in performance from an affordable three-laser system.
The Cytek Northern Lights system incorporates the same groundbreaking technologies as its older sister, the Cytek® Aurora. Like the Aurora system, its optical design and unmixing algorithm give scientists remarkable flexibility, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application.
The state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics provide excellent sensitivity and resolution. Flat-top laser beam profiles, combined with a uniquely designed fluidics system, translate to outstanding performance at high sample flow rates.
The end result is a system that sits in a sweet spot for scientists that have budgeted for a one to three laser system, but desire the ability to run panels of higher complexity.
SpectroFlo® software offers an intuitive workflow from quality control to data analysis with technology-enabling tools that simplify running applications.
The Cytek team has reimagined what you should expect from an affordable cytometer and has delivered an instrument that brings the benefits of full spectrum cytometry to more scientists.
High Value
Reconfigurable from one laser and nine colors to three lasers and 24 colors, there is a Northern Lights configuration to fit your needs.
Remarkable Sensitivity
Sensitivity redefined using state-of-the-art optics and low-noise electronics.
Superb resolution of dim and rare populations, even in high complexity panels and high flow rates.
Easy, Flexible, and Intuitive
One configuration for all assays - no need to change optical filters. Use any commercially available fluorochrome excited by the onboard lasers.
Intuitive software with familiar workflow.
Low Cost of Ownership
Fewer lasers to run more colors.
Low maintenance lasers, more fluorochrome choice, one configuration, and up to 24 colors per sample equates to greater cost savings and less setup time between experiments.
