Cytek Biosciences was founded in 2014 with a vision to revolutionize flow cytometry by making it more powerful, accessible, and affordable. Headquartered in Fremont, California, Cytek initially focused on servicing flow cytometry equipment but soon evolved into a full-fledged instrument developer. Its breakthrough came with the launch of Full Spectrum Cytometry™, a novel approach that redefined how fluorescent signals are captured and analyzed, enabling unprecedented data resolution.
Today, Cytek’s portfolio features the Cytek® Aurora, Northern Lights™, and Muse® Micro Cell Analyzer, each designed to address diverse research needs. These systems offer high-parameter detection, user-friendly interfaces, and compact designs—ideal for labs with varying complexity and scale. Cytek’s proprietary spectral technology captures complete emission spectra, allowing researchers to run more markers with fewer lasers and simplifying panel design.
