The Bio-Rad S3e Cell Sorter is a compact, automated flow cytometry-based cell sorting system designed for easy operation and reliable sorting performance. It features advanced automation technologies such as AutoGimbal alignment and ProDrop™ technology, enabling walk-away sorting with minimal user intervention. When paired with a BioBubble enclosure, the system provides an additional layer of operator protection and containment, making it suitable for laboratories working with sensitive or biohazardous samples.
