C-FREE™ Pluto Code – Replace Centrifugation with Pipette-Based Automation
Home / Replace Centrifugation with Pipette-Based Automation Many cell workflows still rely on repeated spin–decant–resuspend steps. C-FREE™ Pluto Code introduces an alternative: pipette-based automation that enables wash-and-mix sequences, without relying on centrifugation. Install the Pluto Code script library into your existing liquid handler for full walkaway workflows, no hardware upgrades required. Request Info C-FREE™ Pluto […]

Validated 384-Well C-FREE™ Washing for High-Throughput Cell Prep
Validated 384-Well Centrifuge-Free Washing for High-Throughput Cell Prep Technical and biological validation of centrifuge-free washing at 384-well scale using the C-FREE™ Pluto platform. Enabling high-throughput cell prep automation Moving to 384-well formats increases throughput and reduces reagent use—but washing at this scale introduces real risks: sample loss, uneven retention, and assay variability. This application note […]
From Gentle Wash to Harmonized Workflows: How the Field Scaled Next
By Melvin Lye, Curiox Biosystems For much of the history of flow cytometry, centrifugation has been treated as an accepted compromise. It is efficient, familiar, and deeply embedded in laboratory practice. At the same time, its limitations (cell loss, mechanical stress, and operator-dependent variability) have long been recognized, even if rarely interrogated explicitly in published work. As […]
