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 […]
Evaluating centrifuge-free automation after SLAS
Thank you for visiting Curiox at SLAS and engaging with our centrifuge-free automation demonstrations!

Use the resources below to assess function, performance, and deployment options. C-FREE™ Pluto Code: Software-defined […]
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 […]
Harmonization in Cell Preparation: Preserving Data Comparability Across Sites, CROs, and Automation Platforms
By Mallory Griffin, Curiox Biosystems The problem: comparable data starts upstream Cell-based assays have benefited from major advances in instrumentation, reagents, and analysis software. Measurement technologies and data analysis are increasingly automated, standardized, and shared across organizations. Cell preparation, however, remains one of the least controlled parts of the workflow. Even when the same protocol […]
