WHITEPAPER

The Cell Analysis Conundrum—Garbage In / Garbage Out

Why sample preparation determines the quality of your flow cytometry and single-cell data

The whitepaper shows why centrifuge-less Laminar Wash™ is the proven solution for high-quality cell sample preparation. C-FREE™ Pluto Wash builds on the same principle—gentle, controlled laminar buffer exchange that keeps cells settled while removing debris—bringing decades of Laminar Wash technology into standard plates and tubes. In this whitepaper, you’ll learn why upstream sample prep determines data quality and how centrifuge-less washing protects cell integrity to ensure cleaner, more reproducible results
