Full-spectrum flow cytometry has demonstrated clear advantages over conventional approach. Cyteks Aurora platform has played a pivotal role in popularizing this technology, even though SONY introduced a full-spectrum flow cytometer earlier. Full spectral cytometers can identify the autofluorescence and unmix the autofluorescence much better than conventional cytometers. The default gain setting for Aurora, known as the Cytek Assay Setting (CAS), is effective for its intended purpose. However, there is no clear evidence to confirm that CAS provides optimal data resolution. This technical note outlines a methodology for enhancing gain settings to achieve a two-to four-fold improvement in resolution on average.
