POSTER 2026 – End-to-End Sample Preparation on Pluto Using a UI-Driven, Configurable Automation Workflow
SCIENTIFIC POSTER End-to-End Sample Preparation on Pluto Using a UI-Driven, Configurable Automation Workflow Manual sample preparation introduces variability at every step — cocktailing, staining, washing, and lysis performed separately by different operators. This poster shows how the Pluto workstation consolidates these steps into a single, UI-driven workflow using the Antibody Cocktailing Wizard (ACW). Data from […]

C-FREE™ Pluto Code – Replace Centrifugation with Pipette-Based Automation
Home / Replace Centrifugation with Pipette-Based Automation Many cell workflows still rely on repeated spin–decant–resuspend steps. C-FREE™ Pluto Code introduces an alternative: pipette-based automation that enables wash-and-mix sequences, without relying on centrifugation. Install the Pluto Code script library into your existing liquid handler for full walkaway workflows, no hardware upgrades required. Request Info C-FREE™ Pluto […]
From Gentle Wash to Harmonized Workflows: How the Field Scaled Next
By Melvin Lye, Curiox Biosystems For much of the history of flow cytometry, centrifugation has been treated as an accepted compromise. It is efficient, familiar, and deeply embedded in laboratory practice. At the same time, its limitations (cell loss, mechanical stress, and operator-dependent variability) have long been recognized, even if rarely interrogated explicitly in published work. As […]
POSTER 2026 – Pluto Code – Enabled Centrifuge-Free Automation: Toward a Universal Standard for Gentle Wash
SCIENTIFIC POSTER This poster presents Pluto Code, a software-defined framework that enables centrifuge-free, gentle cell washing directly on standard liquid-handling platforms. Using C-FREE™ wash physics implemented as executable code, Pluto Code delivers reproducible wash and mix performance across diverse cell-based assays without additional hardware. Validation data demonstrate comparable or improved cell retention, debris removal, and […]
