The Cytek Borealis system is a next-generation platform that integrates full spectrum flow cytometry with future cellular imaging capabilities in a single system.
This new system with 120 detectors (110 fluorescence and 10 scatter) across seven laser lines—including newly added Deep Ultraviolet (DUV) and Infrared (IR) lasers—expands the range of detectable signals, enabling the development of high-resolution 60-color panels, with the potential to go beyond.
To support these expanded optical capabilities, Cytek has developed DUV and IR cFluor reagents optimized for use with the system. These new dyes are now available via EAP for custom panel design and evaluation, with broader commercial availability planned. This allows researchers a fully integrated solution for accessing new spectral space and scaling panel complexity that no other platform currently offers.
The platform builds on Cytek’s expertise in high-parameter cytometry with future imaging capabilities acquired through its Luminex ImageStream assets, resulting in a unified system designed to extend what can be learned from a single sample. By incorporating imaging alongside spectral detection, the Cytek Borealis system provides a more complete view of cellular behavior and structure.
