POSTER 2026 – Automated C-FREE Workflow for Reproducible Memory T-cell and NK-cell Immunophenotyping
SCIENTIFIC POSTER Automated C-FREE™ Workflow for Reproducible Memory T-cell and NK-cell Immunophenotyping Manual staining and wash steps introduce variability in memory T-cell and NK-cell immunophenotyping. This poster evaluates whether automated antibody cocktailing and C-FREE™ sample processing on the Pluto Workstation improve reproducibility — with head-to-head data across stain index, cell retention, and population frequencies.

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 […]
POSTER 2026 – Pluto Code – Enabled Centrifuge-Free Automation: Toward a Universal Standard for Gentle Wash
SCIENTIFIC POSTER This poster presents Pluto Code, a software-defined framework that enables centrifuge-free, gentle cell washing directly on standard liquid-handling platforms. Using C-FREE™ wash physics implemented as executable code, Pluto Code delivers reproducible wash and mix performance across diverse cell-based assays without additional hardware. Validation data demonstrate comparable or improved cell retention, debris removal, and […]
Beyond Centrifuges: How Smart Automation Transforms Lab Efficiency
By Vincent Andreala, Field Application Scientist | Edited by Melvin Lye, Senior Director of Scientific Affairs June 17, 2025 Introduction: Why Automation, Why Now? If you’ve ever found yourself wrestling with inconsistent data, backlogged experiments, or a constant hunt for trained personnel to manage delicate workflows—you’re not alone. The traditional approach to cell sample preparation has […]
