Automation shouldn’t take 12 months or cost $250k. Pluto reimagines what’s possible in the lab. This short overview introduces how Pluto delivers centrifuge-less cell washing and sample prep automation—making advanced automation accessible for every lab.
Traditional centrifuges can stress cells, slow down workflows, and introduce variability. Pluto replaces centrifuge steps with gentle, reproducible washes using only a protocol and a pipette—removing complexity without compromising results.
Traditional automation demands months of setup and hundreds of thousands in investment. Pluto changes everything:
“There are labs like ours that are not automation experts and we are happy to buy a complete system that can do the automation for us. But there are labs that have invested in their own automation already and I think for those labs being able to adopt these protocols in the automation that they already have is a huge plus and basically means that you can service the entire range of customers – those that are experienced in automation and those that are not.”
— Holden Maecker, Stanford University
Pluto transforms sample preparation with automation that is faster, gentler, and more reliable than traditional methods. By removing the usual barriers, Pluto delivers real ROI—helping your lab move from manual workflows to scalable automation without the usual barriers.
