Find out how the S3™ Cell Sorter allowed them to isolate an important subpopulation of cells and move forward with their project. The S3 Cell Sorter is the first truly walk-away automated cell sorter available to scientists. This easy-to-use system includes one or two lasers with up to four fluorescence detectors, making cell sorting accessible and affordable. Features and Benefits of the S3 Cell Sorter: • Simplified instrument setup — fully automated drop delay calculation, stream alignment, and droplet break-off monitoring enable precise 1–4 color sorting with minimal training • Compact design — dimensions of only 70 × 65 × 65 cm (2.3 × 2.1 × 2.1 ft) including onboard fluidics and temperature control system • 2-way cell sorting — sort two different defined populations at the same time • High speed and high purity — sort cells fast while maintaining high sensitivity and purity • Intuitive interface — user-friendly ProSort™ Software enables effortless instrument control and sort logic definition The S3e Cell Sorter is enhanced with the AutoGimbal™ System, which enables hands-free motorized nozzle tip alignment, driven completely by software http://www.bio-rad.com/en-us/product/s3e-cell-sorter?WT.mc_id=yt-GXD-ww-s3-20141212-nVsLxeT8Reg"
