Full spectrum flow cytometer Nothern Light

The Cytek Northern Lights^™ flow cytometer, with its easy-to-use workflow, is a flexible and affordable full spectrum flow cytometry solution for everyday research applications

 

The Northern Lights instrument incorporates Cytek’s powerful Full Spectrum Profiling^™ (FSP^™) technology in a one to three laser system, allowing for a wide array of new fluorochrome combinations without reconfiguring your system for each application. Whether you are doing basic assays such as cell proliferation, apoptosis analysis, or other cell health applications, or multicolor immunophenotyping panels, the Northern Lights system meets all of your flow cytometry needs.

SpectroFlo^® software provides a user-friendly guided workflow from quality control to data analysis, incorporating tools to make running applications simpler.

 

Easy, Flexible, and Intuitive

Enhance efficiency with one configuration for simple assays to more advanced analyses, using any readily available fluorochrome and our intuitive software.

 

Low Cost of Ownership

Designed to run more colors with fewer lasers for greater cost savings, expanded capabilities, and less setup time between experiments.

 

Remarkable Sensitivity

High sensitivity with state of the art optics and low noise electronics resolves even the dimmest populations.

 

High Value

Adaptable from a single laser for nine color detection, to a three laser system capable of detecting 24 colors, there is a Northern Lights configuration to fit your needs.

 

Autofluorescence Extraction

The Northern Light system’s implementation of full spectrum flow cytometry enables the use of autofluorescence extraction to further improve data clarity. Certain sample types, such as yeast and tumor samples, present the challenge of high autofluorescence. For these challenging applications involving highly autofluorescent particles, let the software's autofluorescence extraction tool bring new levels of resolution.

 

Everyday Immunoprofiling

 

Full spectrum flow cytometry opens a wide range of new possibilities. The Northern Lights system allows scientists to run complex multicolor experiments with as few as one or two lasers. The unique optical system enables the use of dyes with highly overlapping peak emissions without sacrificing resolution, translating to more flexibility in dye choice.

 

9 Colors

The one laser (488 nm) Cytek^® Northern Lights system can perform 9-color immunoprofiling assays with no sacrifice to data quality. In this 9-color blue laser excitable dyes panel, monocytes and several CD4 T cell and CD8 T cell subsets were easily identified.

 

21 Colors

With 30 fluorescence detectors and only 2 lasers (405 and 488 nm), the Cytek^® Northern Lights system enables multi-parametric data collection with few lasers to maintain. Cytek has developed a 21-color human immunophenotyping panel acquired from just a single tube, with outstanding resolution.
