Shared Principles, Consistent Results: Pluto Wash vs. Laminar Wash
By Melvin Lye, Senior Director of Scientific Affairs Introduction: Questioning a Long-Held Belief For decades, suspension cell workflows followed a rigid belief: centrifugation and pelleting were the only way to wash cells. This dogma shaped countless assays but also introduced variability, operator fatigue, and cell loss. Curiox challenged this in 2018 with Laminar Wash™ (LW), proving that […]
POSTER—2025 – Reducing Operator-Dependent Variability in Immunophenotyping Through Automated Antibody Panel Preparation
Manual antibody cocktailing in high-dimensional flow cytometry often introduces user-to-user variability and consumes valuable hands-on time. This study evaluated an automated workflow using the Curiox C-FREE™ Pluto Workstation for antibody cocktailing, benchmarking it against manual methods across 10- and 24-color panels. Results showed that: Reproducibility improved: Replicate cocktail variation consistently stayed below 5%. Data quality […]
Advancing Antibody Cocktail Solutions: Empowering CROs with Pluto Automation
By Melvin Lye, Senior Director of Scientific Affairs The preclinical CRO market is projected to reach USD 8.4 billion by 2030, driven by the rise in high-throughput studies and the demand for reproducible biomarker data in drug development. Yet, many Contract Research Organizations (CROs) still rely on manual pipetting for antibody cocktailing, creating bottlenecks that threaten […]
Automating Flow Cytometry Sample Prep: An ROI Calculation
Automating Flow Cytometry Sample Prep: An ROI Calculation Manual flow cytometry sample preparation is labor-intensive and costly, with multiple touchpoints for antibody cocktail prep, cell lysis, and staining. Each manual step adds labor cost, training time, and risk of error. Here we highlight the ROI of automated sample preparation, showing how Pluto Workstation reduces hands-on […]
