Cytek Biosciences, Inc.

The company is a cell analysis solutions company that uses its patented Full Spectrum Profiling (FSP) technology. This technology leverages the full spectrum of fluorescence signatures from multiple lasers to distinguish fluorescent tags on single cells. The FSP technology optimizes sensitivity and accuracy through its optical and electronic designs, which use an innovative method of light detection and distribution to a specific number and type of detectors. This design allows researchers to collect the full range of light emissions in a compact space, leading to higher resolution. This enables the development of complex assays with 50 different colors (individual fluorochromes), supporting 50 biomarkers within a single tube. The company aims to be a premier cell analysis company by innovating tools for biomedical research and clinical applications. Single-cell analysis is crucial for understanding complex biological systems and identifying specific cells relevant to biological questions, which impacts drug development and healthcare. There is a demand for high-dimensional cell analysis solutions that provide a complete picture of cellular biological processes and interactions. Scientists need to phenotype and isolate rare events or unique populations at the single-cell level using highly resolvable multi-dimensional cell analysis. Conventional flow cytometry, mass cytometry, and early spectral flow cytometry technologies have faced challenges due to limited dimensionality, sub-optimal resolution, low throughput, high cost, or the need for significant technical expertise.
