If a cheaper or more informative cell‑analysis method displaces spectral flow, Cytek's instruments and consumables revenue (CYTK reported $365M revenue in FY2024) could face margin pressure. Staying competitive needs continuous R\u0026amp;D spend; Cytek increased R\u0026amp;D to 18% of sales in 2024, but raising that further is costly.
