Testing performed by our in-house service team:

The Aura Particle Analyzer passed all tests and was found to be functional:

• We verified the power supply and completed the initialization sequence.
• We established the connection to the software without errors.
• We tested the plate carrier movement and confirmed accurate positioning.
• We checked the front status indicator LEDs during operation.
• We inspected the interior ring lights and confirmed proper illumination.

No further testing was performed because we did not have the necessary consumables. We can perform additional testing if consumables are supplied.

Instrument Overview:

• Aura enables the detection, counting, and characterization of protein, cell, and gene therapy particles with a 5 μL sample.
• Combines Backgrounded Membrane Imaging with Fluorescence Membrane Microscopy for aggregate analysis.
• Identifies multiple biological targets and differentiates protein, cellular, or extrinsic particles in one run.
• Provides high-resolution imaging with 4x and 20x objectives and supports brightfield and fluorescence modes.
• Detects particle sizes from >1 μm up to <5 mm, delivering results in under a minute for brightfield analysis.
• The Aura Particle Analyzer supports 24-well or 96-well formats with 100% sampling efficiency at 4x.

Instrument Application:

• Protein aggregation detection
• Cell and gene therapy product quality testing
• Capsid and cell identification
• Differentiation of cellular vs. protein vs. extrinsic particles
• Cell viability and cell type assays

The Key Features:
