One lesson that we’re still learning in our lab is that cells actually can be retained without a centrifuge. Because I was told by multiple people that if you don’t resuspend those cells as part of your wash, it’s not going to work and somehow the cells with the right settings in the Pluto are actually staying retained at the bottom and yet getting washed.

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.

When we talk about automating our phase-appropriation, automation need increases because of increasing sample sizes and increasing precision. Laminar Wash significantly reduces the hands-on time that leads to faster assay time while performing to same equivalence with our pre-made antibody panel.

The Laminar Washer saves time, is easy to use and fewer lab techs are needed. It has proven operator consistency inter- and intra-plate, requires minimal maintenance, and is also cost effective.

Curiox specializes in automated sample preparation solutions that aid in accurate and reproducible cell analysis. Our collaboration aims to leverage their next-generation sample preparation platform and look deep into cellular analysis for hematological malignancies.

We actually have slightly better cell recovery on the Pluto in this particular assay… both for the cell surface and intracellular staining protocols.

Holden Maecker, PhD

Laminar wash resulted in a two-fold increase in cell retention, at the lower cell inputs, compared to traditional centrifugation protocols. This was important for working with rare and sensitive cell types like T cells, where cell loss can be a significant issue.

Tune Therapeutics
Laminar wash gives you a new tool where you are removing more of what you don’t want and keeping more of what you do want in your sample. It’s not magic, but it makes a difference. A difference you can clearly see in your staining results.

Laminar wash is a highly transformative technology that allows us to proceduralize and standardize that method task.
Nelson Carramanzana, MBA
Kite Pharma
The Laminar Wash’s performance allows us to get very tight control over populations with very tight CVs largely due to the clear separations between populations.
Arnaud Colantino, PhD
Formerly at AdiCet Bio; now with Takeda
Laminar Wash was instrumental to our work, focusing on sample preparation and our needs for cell retention strategies. We work a lot on “Cell Sparing Strategies” that focuses on rare cell types that need to be captured over long and expensive staining protocols.

The Laminar Wash technology allows sample staining for flow cytometry completely within a BSL2 cabinet without centrifugation to work safely with these infectious samples.
Sherin Rouhani, MD, PhD
Mass General Cancer Center
The Laminar Washer is safer than flicking (minimal exposure to infectious materials) and requires less space than centrifuges. Our samples are fragile and prone to cell death, but this system promotes cell viability and stability, and has proven consistency at low cell counts producing reliable and reproducible results while also preventing cross-contamination of samples.

It was not so difficult to translate our manual centrifugation protocol to the laminar wash. It is more difficult to work with the centrifuge with such limited amount of cells because you don’t see the pellets than just letting them settle down on the laminar washer and then let the AUTO 1000 do the job for you.
Patrizia Porazzi, PhD
University of Pennsylvania
The least amount of sample handling, the better the data. Especially for proteomics.
Rebekah Gundry, MD, FAHA
University of Nebraska Medical Center

The DA-Bead method for analysis was comparable to, if not superior to, the conventional method in terms of consistency/precision, accuracy, sensitivity and dynamic range.

Coreen Beaumier, PhD
Baylor College of Medicine
We really have a nice recovery and the Curiox (Laminar Wash technology) has been great for samples that have a very low number of cells.
Antonino Montalbano, PhD
Formerly at ImmunAI; now with Vor Bio
With the Curiox Laminar Wash (technology) we retain more cells with much less data variation between samples than (when using) our centrifuge process.
Jorgen Adolfsson, PhD
Linkoping University
Due to its underlying principle, the Laminar Wash (technology) means less mechanical stress on cells and less cell loss from a sample when compared to conventional centrifugation steps.
Christoph Eberle, PhD, MICR, FRSPH
Charles River Laboratories
The one thing which I didn’t expect is that you reduce usage of antibody (by) roughly 50% and we’ve preserved signal and reproducibility.
Jorgen Adolfsson, PhD

The Laminar Wash System improves reproducibility and increases sensitivity in flow cytometric crossmatches.
