Curiox replaces centrifugation with software-defined, pipette-based washing, bringing controlled flow and repeatable wash conditions directly into automated workflows.
Replace centrifugation with pipette-based flow
Dr. Lili Wang (NIST), Dr. Tom Hayday (IMU), Dr. John Ferbas (Amgen), and Dr. Raffaello Cimbro (AstraZeneca) are presenting on standardizing automated sample preparation across multi-site flow cytometry labs at CYTO 2026. Sign up and we’ll send you a copy of the recording.
The Pluto product family translates C‑FREE technology into deployable tools for labs at different stages of automation adoption—whether that means a compact wash station, full workstation for cell preparation, or software for your existing platforms.
Centrifuge-free washing using Pluto Code. Executed directly on standard liquid handling platforms without off-board centrifugation.
SLAS Exhibitor Tutorial
Scientists from ETH Zurich and AstraZeneca shared validation data demonstrating how Pluto CODE standardizes washing, reduces variability, and accelerates assay transfer across sites.

"Standardizing high-parameter flow cytometry workflows has been a persistent challenge in research immune monitoring. The Workflow Wizard addresses this directly: our team can load an existing staining and washing protocol as a table, and the Pluto Workstation executes every step without manual intervention. That combination of immediate usability and run-to-run reproducibility is what makes it a serious tool for high-throughput immune monitoring environments."
Dr. Holden Maecker
Human Immune Monitoring Center, Stanford University; Scientific Advisor, Curiox Biosystems
We had automation for antibody cocktailing and data transfer, but washing was always the missing link. We were still carrying plates between disparate instruments, centrifuging, flicking, and resetting the workflow. Pluto finally closed that gap and integrated the full process.

We replaced the standard centrifugation step with Curiox technology. Pluto can allow you to basically simulate centrifuge-free cell washing using a standard liquid handler. It’s really a nice technology.

Featured Application
The Pluto Workstation automates antibody master mix preparation so panels are generated with robotic precision. Cocktailing, staining, and downstream centrifuge-free washing can all be performed on a single workstation, simplifying setup and reducing fragmented manual steps.
