​
CELL SORTER - CYTEK AURORA CS
​
The Cytek Aurora CS is a full spectrum enabled system, best suited for panels optimised on full spectrum analysers but also compatible with conventional systems.
​
Both sorters are housed in biosafety cabinets, allowing for sterile sorting under PC2 laboratory conditions. Samples can be sorted into up to six populations and collected in various vessels.
​
Consult with one of our sort operators to discuss options and set up a trial sort.
