Curiox at CYTO 2026

Your flow cytometry sample prep. One station. Fully automated. No centrifuge.

Automate Antibody Cocktailing, Staining, and Washing

Live Demo at Booth 407 – At Booth 407, we’re running live demonstrations of the complete C-FREE workflow. See how one station handles antibody cocktailing, staining, and washing — no centrifuge, no inter-device coordination.

Antibody Cocktailing Wizard

Antibody Cocktail Wizard

Enter your antibody panel as a table. The Antibody Cocktailing Wizard calculates volumes, FMOs, and controls, then pipettes it for you. No coding. No calculation errors.

Workflow Wizard

Workflow Wizard

Load your protocol as a table. Workflow Wizard executes every staining and washing step automatically. No programming. No decisions.

Pluto Workstation Liquid Handler

Pluto Workstation

Start with antibody cocktailing, then automate staining and washing in the same station. Guided by SOPs. Any scientist can run it.

Curiox-Sponsored Sessions Featuring NIST, AbbVie, Amgen, and AstraZeneca

Scientific Session

Precision by Design: Building Best Practices for Automated Flow Cytometry

Saturday, June 6, 1–2 PM | Ballroom C

Standardization and reproducibility remain the central challenges in translating high-dimensional flow cytometry data into reliable outcomes. This session explores how automation and emerging standards are converging to address variability across sample handling, antibody cocktailing, and washing.

  • Dr. Lili Wang | Senior Scientist, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
  • Dr. John Ferbas | Senior Director, Cytometry & Imaging Sciences, Amgen
  • Dr. Raffaello Cimbro | Director of Flow Cytometry, AstraZeneca
  • Dr. Tom Hayday | Co-Founder & Chief Research Officer, IMU Biosciences

“I had over 200 individual pipette actions that occurred over 4.5 hours. Two of those hours I had to be physically in the lab. Even during the five-minute spins, I couldn’t step away to check email or do anything else.”

– Ryan Duggan, Senior Scientist at AbbVie
