Description

Description

Use the compact S3e Cell Sorter for true walk-away automated cell sorting using 3 lasers (488/561/640 nm), 4 fluorescence detectors, plus forward- and side-scatter detectors.

Real-time monitoring and smart features make cell sorting easier and more accessible to both novices and experts.

Among the many innovations of the S3e Cell Sorter, two key state-of-the-art advancements are ProDrop™ Technology for drop delay determination with real-time monitoring and the software-driven, hands-free AutoGimbal System, which enables automatic nozzle tip and stream-to-optics alignment.

Features and Benefits

  • Hands-free nozzle tip alignment — fully automatic AutoGimbal System, driven completely by software
  • 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
