Cytek Aurora CS cell sorter

The Cytek Aurora CS Cell Sorter is a spectral sorter that detects the full spectrum of emitted light, which enables a large number of parameters to be assessed simultaneously. This machine is the first in the southern hemisphere to be installed inside a Class II biosafety cabinet, providing a safe aseptic sorting environment for the user and samples.  

Researchers are welcome to utilise this machine to analyse and/or sort samples. Please contact the sorter operator (contact details below) to make a booking.
