Automated Sample Preparation Reduces Pre-analytical Variability in High-Parameter B-cell Flow Cytometry Immunophenotyping

This poster demonstrates how the the Pluto workstation automates centrifuge-free sample preparation and antibody cocktailing for high-parameter B-cell flow cytometry immunophenotyping. Data from an independent academic core (Stanford HIMC) show automated preparation delivers viability, stain index, and B-cell subset resolution equivalent to manual processing across a 24-color panel — with automated cocktailing further reducing inter-operator variability and hands-on time by ~30%.
