Standardizing high-parameter flow cytometry workflows has been a persistent challenge in research immune monitoring. The Workflow Wizard addresses this directly: our team can load an existing staining and washing protocol as a table, and the Pluto Workstation executes every step without manual intervention. That combination of immediate usability and run-to-run reproducibility is what makes it a serious tool for high-throughput immune monitoring environments.

We replaced the standard centrifugation step with Curiox technology. Pluto can allow you to basically simulate centrifuge-free cell washing using a standard liquid handler. It’s really a nice technology.

When we talk about automating our phase-appropriation, automation need increases because of increasing sample sizes and increasing precision. Laminar Wash significantly reduces the hands-on time that leads to faster assay time while performing to same equivalence with our pre-made antibody panel.

The Laminar Washer saves time, is easy to use and fewer lab techs are needed. It has proven operator consistency inter- and intra-plate, requires minimal maintenance, and is also cost effective.

Curiox specializes in automated sample preparation solutions that aid in accurate and reproducible cell analysis. Our collaboration aims to leverage their next-generation sample preparation platform and look deep into cellular analysis for hematological malignancies.

Marco Ruella, MD

University of Pennsylvania

We actually have slightly better cell recovery on the Pluto in this particular assay… both for the cell surface and intracellular staining protocols.

Holden Maecker, PhD

Stanford University

Laminar wash resulted in a two-fold increase in cell retention, at the lower cell inputs, compared to traditional centrifugation protocols. This was important for working with rare and sensitive cell types like T cells, where cell loss can be a significant issue.

Dan Imhoff

Tune Therapeutics

Laminar wash gives you a new tool where you are removing more of what you don’t want and keeping more of what you do want in your sample. It’s not magic, but it makes a difference. A difference you can clearly see in your staining results.

Christoph Eberle, PhD, MICR, FRSPH

Charles River Laboratories

Laminar wash is a highly transformative technology that allows us to proceduralize and standardize that method task.

Nelson Carramanzana, MBA

Kite Pharma

The Laminar Wash’s performance allows us to get very tight control over populations with very tight CVs largely due to the clear separations between populations.

Arnaud Colantino, PhD

Formerly at AdiCet Bio; now with Takeda

Laminar Wash was instrumental to our work, focusing on sample preparation and our needs for cell retention strategies. We work a lot on “Cell Sparing Strategies” that focuses on rare cell types that need to be captured over long and expensive staining protocols.

Herve Luche, PhD

CIPHE

The Laminar Wash technology allows sample staining for flow cytometry completely within a BSL2 cabinet without centrifugation to work safely with these infectious samples.

Sherin Rouhani, MD, PhD

Mass General Cancer Center

The Laminar Washer is safer than flicking (minimal exposure to infectious materials) and requires less space than centrifuges. Our samples are fragile and prone to cell death, but this system promotes cell viability and stability, and has proven consistency at low cell counts producing reliable and reproducible results while also preventing cross-contamination of samples.

It was not so difficult to translate our manual centrifugation protocol to the laminar wash. It is more difficult to work with the centrifuge with such limited amount of cells because you don’t see the pellets than just letting them settle down on the laminar washer and then let the AUTO 1000 do the job for you.

Patrizia Porazzi, PhD

University of Pennsylvania

The least amount of sample handling, the better the data. Especially for proteomics.

Rebekah Gundry, MD, FAHA

University of Nebraska Medical Center

The DA-Bead method for analysis was comparable to, if not superior to, the conventional method in terms of consistency/precision, accuracy, sensitivity and dynamic range.

Coreen Beaumier, PhD

Baylor College of Medicine

We really have a nice recovery and the Curiox (Laminar Wash technology) has been great for samples that have a very low number of cells.

Antonino Montalbano, PhD

Formerly at ImmunAI; now with Vor Bio

With the Curiox Laminar Wash (technology) we retain more cells with much less data variation between samples than (when using) our centrifuge process.

Jorgen Adolfsson, PhD

Linkoping University

Due to its underlying principle, the Laminar Wash (technology) means less mechanical stress on cells and less cell loss from a sample when compared to conventional centrifugation steps.

Christoph Eberle, PhD, MICR, FRSPH

Charles River Laboratories

The one thing which I didn’t expect is that you reduce usage of antibody (by) roughly 50% and we’ve preserved signal and reproducibility.

Jorgen Adolfsson, PhD

Linkoping University

The Laminar Wash System improves reproducibility and increases sensitivity in flow cytometric crossmatches.
