Curiox Biosystems showcases new cell washing solution at SLAS2025

Curiox Biosystems will be presenting the Pluto ALPHA, the latest addition to the Pluto line of products at their booth (#113) at SLAS2025 International Conference & Exhibition in San Diego, California. This compact and intuitive device redefines cell washing automation, bringing simplicity, reliability, and affordability to labs of all sizes.

Revolutionizing cell washing

The Pluto ALPHA replaces traditional centrifuge-based methods, offering a low-maintenance solution that eliminates bulky hardware. Utilizing a pipette head, it delivers gentle, consistent washing of suspension cells and beads, preserving sample integrity and improving reproducibility. By simplifying workflows and reducing variability, Pluto ALPHA helps researchers achieve more consistent, high-quality results in less time.

Key features:

• Gentle washing: Pipette-based technology ensures cell viability by avoiding centrifugation, preserving delicate cells.
• Effortless integration: Compact design fits seamlessly into existing workflows, with no need for additional infrastructure.
• Labware compatibility: Supports 96-well plates, deep-well plates, and Laminar Washplates, ensuring immediate adaptability to your setup.
• Minimal maintenance: Virtually the same as a pipetting station, reducing downtime and operational costs for labs.
• Affordable automation: It delivers cutting-edge performance within budget-friendly constraints.
• Compact footprint: Its small size ensures efficient use of valuable bench space, making it ideal for labs of all sizes.

Workflow benefits

Pre-configured with Light, Moderate, Heavy, and Ultra wash protocols, the Pluto ALPHA minimizes hands-on time for researchers, allowing them to focus on high-value tasks. The elimination of centrifugation, flicking, or resuspension steps streamlines workflows while ensuring reproducibility across experiments. These features are especially valuable for immunophenotyping, cell therapy, and drug discovery applications.

Empowering labs with the Pluto Line

The Pluto product line reflects Curiox’s mission to drive innovation and enhance productivity. With a focus on scalability and adaptability, Pluto devices cater to diverse research and clinical needs.
