Delivering affordable, personalized automation for cell analysis workflows
Sample preparation made simpler with an automated liquid handling platform that enables antibody cocktailing, cell staining and washing. The Pluto system integrates proprietary Pluto wash and laminar mix technologies, removing the need for a module of centrifuge, robotic arm, and plate washer. With its advanced robotic pipette heads—available in 8, 24, or 96 channels—Pluto automates the washing of suspension cells and beads in a gentle, consistent manner, enhancing sample integrity and reproducibility.
The system is pre-installed with one-touch protocols supported by Curiox’s scripting service, enabling easy setup and reliable performance with minimal manual intervention.
The Pluto LT workstation is available with both single- and 8-channel pipette heads allowing for the washing of up to 8 wells, taking from 5-10 minutes (based on your protocol and using the 8-channel head).
Available Configurations
Washing cycles take 3 to 30 minutes, depending on the required wash intensity. The pipette heads allow precision-controlled liquid handling, replicating the function of a centrifuge but with fewer steps and less complexity, reducing the risk of system error or cell loss.
