1.1 System Components
1.2 Installation Requirements
The S3 and S3e Cell Sorters should be installed by a trained service engineer to ensure proper
operation and calibration of the instrument. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your
local Bio-Rad office for assistance.
Before the S3 and S3e Cell Sorters can be installed by a service engineer, a site must be
chosen. The instrument should be located on a sturdy bench or table top, away from any other
instruments that may interfere electrically or mechanically by causing vibration. The bench or
table top must be able to accommodate 198 lb (90 kg), the weight of the instrument. The area
should be free of excessive dust or moisture.
