Pluto ALPHA

Affordable, Hassle-Free Cell Washing Automation

Delivering simplicity and reliability for cell washing workflows, the Pluto ALPHA redefines automation with its compact and intuitive design. Built specifically to replace traditional centrifuge-based washing methods, the Pluto ALPHA eliminates the need for bulky hardware like centrifuges or robotic arms, offering an efficient, low-maintenance solution. Utilizing a cutting-edge pipette head, the Pluto ALPHA ensures gentle and consistent washing of suspension cells and beads, preserving sample integrity and improving reproducibility.

Pre-configured with optimized wash protocols, the Pluto ALPHA guarantees exceptional ease of use, requiring minimal setup and manual intervention. Designed for labs of all sizes, it provides a cost-effective entry point for personalized automation.

Available Configurations

  • Pluto ALPHA (Standard): Fixed 96-channel pipette head and 3 plate decks.

Washing cycles range from 2 to xx minutes, depending on your workflow needs. The device is tailored to achieve precise liquid handling with fewer steps and greater simplicity, significantly minimizing cell stress and operator variability. The device works with both conventional plates and Laminar Wash plates.

Custom Options

  • Flexible throughput by configuring pipette tips
  • Customizable wash parameters
  • General liquid handling functions such as serial dilutions* (upcoming software features)
