Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Cytek Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) accelerate the effective date of the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) and declare the Registration Statement effective as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 22, 2021, or as soon thereafter as possible, or at such other time as the Company or its counsel may request by telephone to the staff of the Commission. The Company hereby authorizes each of Gordon Ho and Ryan James of Cooley LLP, counsel to the Company, to make such a request on its behalf. This request for acceleration is subject, however, to your receiving a telephone call prior to such time from Cooley LLP confirming this request.

Under separate cover, you will receive today a letter from the managing underwriters of the proposed offering joining in the Company’s request for acceleration of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
