Cytek Investor Day Presentation Deck

Spectral flow cytometry Full spectrum flow cytometry provides many advantages over traditional cytometry Dramatically improved ability to separate the signals from fluorescent probes with similar (but non-identical) spectra. This allows us to analyze many more fluorescent probes (and cell markers) simultaneously. More than 40 marker analysis is now practical (and has been reported). Improved quality of signal separation. While spectral cytometry is not strictly more sensitive than traditional techniques, improved signal separation improves data quality. Some interesting advantages derive from these improvements... Spectral cytometry is more "forgiving" of less-than-optimal fluorochrome selections. Many older fluorochromes previously less useful for flow cytometry now have new potential. The variety of fluorescent probes now usable for cytometry is greatly increased. Virtually any visible fluorochrome can be used. Spectral analysis allows improved subtraction of cellular autofluorescence, improving detection sensitivity, particularly in difficult cell types like myeloid lineages and tumors.
