There is a great deal of interest in characterizing small particles such as bacteria, extracellular vesicles, and viruses by flow cytometry. The common availability, as well as the multiparameter and high throughput capabilities of flow cytometry, make this technology attractive for measuring small particles. However, many of the flow cytometers currently being used are not able to detect biological particles smaller than 600nm, in fact very few can detect biological particles 300nm or less. Cytek has developed an Enhanced Small Particle (ESP) detection option for the already popular Aurora and Northern Lights flow cytometers, capable of resolving biological particles down to 87.5nm.
