Delivering affordable, personalized automation for cell analysis workflows
Sample preparation made simpler with an automated liquid handling platform that enables antibody cocktailing, cell staining and washing. The Pluto system integrates proprietary Pluto wash and laminar mix technologies, removing the need for a module of centrifuge, robotic arm, and plate washer. With its advanced robotic pipette heads—available in 8, 24, or 96 channels—Pluto automates the washing of suspension cells and beads in a gentle, consistent manner, enhancing sample integrity and reproducibility.
The system is pre-installed with one-touch protocols supported by Curiox’s Workflow Setup Service, enabling easy setup and reliable performance with minimal manual intervention.
The Pluto LT workstation is available with both single- and 8-channel pipette heads allowing for the washing of up to 8 wells, taking from 5-10 minutes (based on your protocol and using the 8-channel head).
Available Configurations
Washing cycles take 3 to 30 minutes, depending on the required wash intensity. The pipette heads allow precision-controlled liquid handling, replicating the function of a centrifuge but with fewer steps and less complexity, reducing the risk of system error or cell loss.
Custom Options:
For more details, contact your Curiox sales representative.
Antibody Cocktailing Made Easy:
Pluto’s built-in antibody cocktailing functionality simplifies the preparation of complex antibody panels, enabling labs to mix up to 96 antibodies seamlessly. By automating this process, the system ensures accurate and reproducible results, reducing manual effort and the potential for human error. Read full analysis in our whitepaper.
Personalized Automation:
Seamlessly integrate liquid handling, antibody cocktail preparation, and cell washing into one compact platform, streamlining your workflows without additional equipment.
Familiar Labware Compatibility:
Supports standard 96-well microplates, deep-well plates, tubes, and pipette tips, ensuring easy adoption within existing lab setups.
Minimal Assay Optimization:
Transition from manual to automated workflows with ease—Pluto LT, MT, and HT are designed to support your current flow cytometry protocols without significant optimization.
Compact Footprint:
The benchtop design fits easily into compact lab spaces, maximizing efficiency without sacrificing performance.
Affordable and Scalable:
A low barrier to adoption makes Pluto accessible for labs of all sizes. Choose from multiple configurations based on your throughput needs, with the flexibility to upgrade as requirements grow.
Enhanced Traceability:
Track samples, antibodies, and reagents with confidence using visual and digital monitoring tools. The system records liquid handling history and volume tracking to ensure reproducibility and compliance in clinical and research applications. (Future add-on)
The Pluto system simplifies complex workflows by combining personalized automation with powerful liquid handling and antibody cocktail prep capabilities. Its flexibility, precision, and affordability make it an ideal solution for labs seeking to streamline processes while maintaining high data integrity. Whether you’re conducting flow cytometry, mass cytometry, or other cell-based assays, Pluto enables your lab to unlock higher productivity with less effort.

“We got essentially equivalent, sometimes better stain index with the Pluto.” – Holden Maecker, PhD Stanford University
“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.” – Raffaello Cimbro, PhD AstraZeneca
