Curiox Biosystems is a life science technology company providing centrifuge-free automation technologies for cell analysis workflows.
Developed over several years, our C-FREE™ technology is a laminar flow–based washing method that replaces centrifugation with controlled, pipette-based fluid exchange.
This technology forms the basis of our Pluto automation solutions, designed to improve reproducibility, simplify automation, and save researcher’s time.
Curiox was founded in 2008 with the introduction of DropArray, an early platform that demonstrated how controlled laminar flow could wash cells gently while reducing sample loss and variability.
In 2017, Curiox introduced Laminar Wash technology, establishing a centrifuge-free alternative that delivered consistent wash performance across plate-based workflows. This technology has been validated across academic, biotech, and pharmaceutical laboratories and remains the backbone of Curiox’s approach today — the C-FREE™ Pluto platform.
C-FREE™ technology brings Curiox’s proven laminar wash principles into modern automation environments. Instead of spinning samples, C-FREE technology executes washing through pipette robot–controlled fluid exchange, performed directly on liquid handlers or Pluto systems.
Lower mechanical stress compared to centrifugation
High-throughput and scalable, pipette-driven washing
Full cell preparation workflows in one machine
Curiox operates globally through regional teams and a network of distribution partners. This structure allows us to remain close to customer workflows while supporting multinational organizations.
We work directly with scientists, automation teams, and operations groups to ensure our systems are adopted realistically and used consistently.
The Pluto product family translates C-FREE technology into deployable tools for labs at different stages of automation adoption. Rather than forcing labs to re-architect their workflows, Pluto automation products are designed to fit into how labs already work.
Become part of passionate and diverse team focused on advancing science and customer satisfaction.
