Curiox Sponsors 48th Annual Course in Cytometry: Featuring the C-FREE™ Pluto Workstation

Curiox Biosystems is proud to announce our sponsorship of the 48th Annual Course in Cytometry, hosted by the Institute for Molecular Medicine and Infectious Disease at Drexel University College of Medicine. This nationally renowned course—scheduled for July 13–17, 2025 in Philadelphia—draws cytometry professionals from across academia, government, and industry for an immersive week of advanced learning and hands-on technical training.

As a sponsor, Curiox will spotlight our latest advancement in flow cytometry sample preparation: the Pluto Workstation, featuring our C-FREE™ technology for centrifuge-less sample prep and fully automated antibody cocktail preparation.

What Attendees Will Gain

The Annual Course in Cytometry has long been a pillar of education in the field, offering foundational and advanced training in topics such as multicolor panel design, immunophenotyping, instrument setup, and data analysis. It serves as an ideal venue for introducing Pluto to emerging leaders and core facility professionals looking to modernize their workflows.

Curiox is committed to enabling greater reproducibility, standardization, and throughput in cytometry labs. Our support of this event reflects our mission to equip scientists with powerful, user-friendly tools for sample prep automation—a traditionally bottlenecked step in flow cytometry workflows. Stop by our booth at the event to learn how we’re enabling automated sample preparation and antibody cocktailing without a centrifuge. 

Experience the Pluto Workstation: Automation Without Compromise

At the Annual Course in Cytometry, stop by Curiox’s table to explore how the Pluto Workstation is redefining sample preparation with two key capabilities:

1. Automated Antibody Cocktailing

Manual antibody mixing is a tedious, error-prone task. With Pluto, you can fully automate the preparation of antibody master mixes

Key Benefits:

  • Easy-to-use interface does not require coding
  • Achieve high accuracy and reproducibility for high-value antibodies
  • Reduce human error and free up time
  • Use for single panels or scale up for high-throughput

2. C-FREE™ Technology: Centrifuge-Less Sample Preparation

Built on the legacy of our industry-proven Laminar Wash technology, C-FREE™ technology is our next-generation platform for washing cells without centrifugation.

Rather than relying on spin steps, C-FREE™ uses a controlled fluidic exchange process to gently remove reagents while preserving cell viability and integrity.

Key Benefits:

  • Preserve cell integrity and viability
  • Eliminate mechanical stress and cell loss associated with centrifugal methods
  • Maintain physiological states of cells, crucial for accuracy and reliability of assays
  • Higher recovery of rare or fragile populations

Designed for Today’s Flow Cytometry Lab

Whether you’re running immunoprofiling assays, supporting clinical research, or operating a core facility, Pluto helps standardize prep, reduce hands-on time, and enhance data reliability.

The Pluto Workstation offers:

  • Affordable and compact benchtop automation
  • One-touch protocols with intuitive software
  • Proven technology based on our laminar wash
  • Scalable for low- and high-throughput labs
