What this guide covers
This guide describes the procedures necessary to operate and maintain the BDFACSymphony™A5SE Special
Order Research Product (SORP) flow cytometer.
Because many cytometer functions are controlled by BDFACSDiva™ software, this guide also contains
information about software features required for basic cytometer setup and operation.
This guide assumes you have a working knowledge of basic Microsoft® Windows® operation. If you are not
familiar with the Windows operating system, see the documentation provided with your computer.
