York Science Park tenant Swift Analytical Ltd is helping to advance bioscience research in the UK with the first UK installation of the CytoStellar spectral flow cytometer, now live at the Bioscience Technology Facility, University of York.

As the exclusive UK distributor for Challenbio Ltd – one of China’s leading manufacturers of cytometry technologies – Swift Analytical is playing a key role in introducing next-generation analytical tools to the UK research community.

Advancing Spectral Cytometry in the UK

The CytoStellar system represents a significant step forward in spectral cytometry, offering advanced analytical capabilities across a wide range of bioscience applications.

Installed at the University of York’s Bioscience Technology Facility, the system will support researchers in carrying out high-quality, cutting-edge research and further strengthen York’s reputation as a centre for world-class bioscience innovation.

Collaboration Driving Innovation

This UK-first installation is the result of close collaboration between a global technology provider, a specialist UK distributor and a leading academic facility — a model that sits at the heart of the York Science Park innovation ecosystem.

Swift Analytical has experienced significant growth over the past year, expanding its capabilities and bringing an increasingly diverse range of cytometry technologies to the UK market.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr Mehboob (Mebs) A. Surve, Founder and Managing Director of Swift Analytical Ltd, said:
“We are delighted by the support and flexibility of the York Science Park team.”
