Curiox Biosystems has introduced the Curiox C- Free Pluto ALPHA, the latest addition to the Pluto line of products.

This compact and intuitive device redefines cell washing automation, bringing simplicity, reliability, and affordability to labs of all sizes.

The Curiox C- Free 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, Curiox C- Free Pluto ALPHA helps researchers achieve more consistent, high-quality results in less time.

The device is highly versatile, supporting various labware, including 96-well plates, deep-well plates, and Laminar Wash plates, ensuring immediate compatibility. With maintenance requirements comparable to a standard pipetting station, it minimizes downtime and reduces operational costs. Moreover, priced below USD 30,000, the Curiox C-Free Pluto ALPHA delivers high-performance automation while remaining budget-friendly. Its small footprint optimizes valuable bench space, making it an ideal solution for labs of all sizes.

Pre-configured with Light, Moderate, Heavy, and Ultra wash protocols, the Curiox C-Free Pluto ALPHA significantly reduces hands-on time, allowing researchers to focus on high-value tasks. By eliminating centrifugation, flicking, and resuspension steps, it streamlines workflows while ensuring reproducibility across experiments. These benefits are particularly advantageous for applications such as immunophenotyping, cell therapy, and drug discovery, where precision and consistency are paramount.

As part of the Pluto product line, the Curiox C-Free Pluto ALPHA embodies Curiox's commitment to driving innovation and enhancing lab productivity. Designed with scalability and adaptability in mind, Pluto devices cater to both small-scale research and industrial-scale operations, providing a robust solution for diverse research and clinical needs. The system is available in different configurations to suit various requirements. The standard model features a fixed 96-channel pipette head and three plate decks, supporting wash cycles from as little as two minutes for precise and efficient workflows. Custom options are also available, offering flexible throughput with configurable pipette tips and customizable wash parameters, ensuring adaptability for specialized applications.

Highlighting the significance of this innovation, Dr. Namyong Kim, CEO & CTO at Curiox Biosystems, stated, “The Curiox C-Free Pluto ALPHA combines affordability, simplicity, and precision, enabling labs of all sizes to achieve consistent, reliable results while saving time and resources. This device embodies our commitment to providing accessible automation solutions that elevate research capabilities.”
