Cytek expands to a new location in Amsterdam’s Life Sciences District

The California-based firm, a leader in spectral flow cytometry, has relocated its European operations to a new facility in Amsterdam’s Life Sciences District, an area increasingly attracting cutting-edge biotech and medical technology firms. The site includes offices, warehouse space, and a new customer training centre, increasing Cytek’s European footprint by more than 40 per cent.

The facility’s Training Centre offers a fully equipped laboratory environment where researchers can gain hands-on experience with Cytek’s instruments, particularly those built around its patented Full Spectrum Profiling™ (FSP®) technology. This immersive set-up enables scientists to unlock richer, high-dimensional cell data and enhance efficiency in research workflows.

According to the company, the expansion has been driven by strong growth in its reagents business, a key pillar of Cytek’s global innovation strategy. By bringing its warehouse operations in-house, Cytek aims to strengthen quality control, streamline logistics, and improve delivery reliability across Europe and beyond.

The new Amsterdam facility expands our capabilities across the EMEA region, enabling us to deliver solutions and services that advance scientific understanding, accelerate data-driven decision-making, and foster innovation.

- Dr Wenbin Jiang, CEO of Cytek Biosciences.
