{{:info.gif|}} **Next Scheduled Maintenances**: 19 September ===== System overview ===== {{ :optical_filters_aurora.png?0x250|}} The Cytek Aurora leverages full spectrum technology to provide flexibility to scientists, enabling the use of a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring the system for each application. The Aurora system delivers high-resolution data at the single-cell level to resolve the most challenging cell populations, such as cells with high autofluorescence or low levels of expression of key biomarkers, regardless of assay complexity. \\ \\ * **5 spatially separated lasers**: Ultra-violet (355nm - 20mW), Violet (405nm - 100mW), Blue (488nm - 50mW), Yellow Green (561nm - 50mW) and Red (640nm - 80mW) * **3 scatter channels**: 488nm FSC, 405nm SSC, 488nm SSC * **64 fluorescent detectors**: * UV detector: 16 channels with optimized bandwidth from 365-829nm * V detector: 16 channels with optimized bandwidth from 420-829nm * B detector: 14 channels with optimized bandwidth from 498-829nm * YG detector: 10 channels with optimized bandwidth from 567-829nm * R detector: 8 channels with optimized bandwidth from 652-829nm * **Fluidics** * Vacuum-based fluidics system: manual acquisition from multiple tube formats * In-line flow meter: bead-less absolute cell count, bubble and clog detection * ** Automated Sample Loader (ASL)** * with an orbital shaker * compatible with __96-well plates__ , __96-deep well plates__ and __40-tube racks__ \\ If you need high parameter cell analysis, check also the [[bd_facs_symphony_a5_se|BD FACSymphony A5 SE]] in Lisbon site and the [[cytek_aurora_oeiras|CYTEK Aurora]] in Oeiras site. ===== Configuration ===== \\ \\ ===== Suggested Fluorochrome Peak Channels =====
