The Aurora advanced flow cytometry system from Cytek Biosciences (Fremont, CA) uses three excitation lasers and 50 channels to enable 20+ color capability. Its excitation optics and compact semiconductor detector modules with high quantum efficiency allow for implementation of more detection channels per laser. Depending on the laser excitation wavelength, this permits detection of any fluorescence emission in the 400 to 900 nm range without having to change optical filters. Its optical design and unmixing algorithm combine to enable the use of wide arrays of dyes, including those with highly overlapping spectra.
