Labels - Cytek Biosciences Aurora User Manual

You can create groups of fluorescent tags by selecting New. Individual fluorescent tags can also be
imported or exported.
To edit the properties of the fluorescent tag, select the fluorescent tag of interest and select Edit.
Properties that can be edited include fluorescent tag name, laser excitation wavelength, emission
wavelength, and display name.
If the fluorophore is known by another name or identified by a different spelling, those additional
names or spellings can be added as synonyms. The group in which the tag can be found can also be
edited in this window.

Labels

Fluorescent tags can be conjugated or attached to proteins that can specifically bind to other
proteins on the cell surface or within the cytoplasm. They can also be inherently fluorescent, such as
fluorescent proteins that can be fused to a variety of cellular proteins using molecular cloning
techniques. The proteins that are either bound or attached to fluorescent tags can be designated as
labels. The software comes with an initial set of pre-installed labels that are categorized as CD
Markers, Chemokines, Chemokine Receptors, and Cytokines. Additional labels can be added by using
Add in the right pane.
