AUTOMATED LAMINAR WASH™ PRODUCES CONSISTENT DATA with LOW COEFFICIENT of VARIANCE
Fig 2 By using Laminar Wash™ in a single wash step during immunophenotyping of human PBMCs, the user achieved (a) consistency and (b) lower coefficient of variance even between different operators. Webinar available from www.curiox.com

LAMINAR WASH™ LEADS to IMPROVED CELL VIABILITY of TILs and LESS CYTOMETER CLOGGING
CURIOX’S LAMINAR WASH TECHNOLOGY AND FULL AUTOMATION OF SAMPLE PREPARATION WITH LW™ AUTO1000
(a) (b)
Fig 1 Curiox’s centrifuge-less cell preparation platform is enabled by our wall-less plate and laminar flow washer.
(a) The Laminar Wash™ (LW) plate (96 well) or strip (16 well) consists of an array of hydrophilic spots surrounded by hydrophobic surface, which functions as a virtual wall that separates each spot. Each spot can process from a single cell to as many as 10 million cells without the mechanical stress and cell losses associated with centrifugation.
(b) HT1000 washes 96 wells in a fully automated process with individual nozzles for each well.
(c) The Laminar Wash™ AUTO 1000 software interface allows modifications to sample volume, buffer volume, antibody volume, number of washes, incubation time and temperature. In addition, it comes with pre-programmed protocols to ensure user consistency. User-friendly Graphical Interface (GUI): The software prompts the user to conveniently enter the parameters of existing SOPs or protocols with no coding or programming of the liquid handling system.

LAMINAR WASH™ IMPROVES RETENTION and BETTER RETAINS ENDOGENOUS PROTEIN EXPRESSION

Centrifuge Laminar Wash™
Fig 3(a) In processing of low cell numbers (50-100), LW retained higher cell count with better cellular morphology and brighter endogenous fluorescent expression. The dim protein expression is evidence of mechanic stresses caused by centrifugation.Data from a biotech company in San Diego
Fig 3(b) In subcutaneous murine melanoma tumor samples, LW retained 40% more live cells than centrifuge, with less tumor debris and better antibody staining.

LAMINAR WASH™ DECREASED BACKGROUND in B CELL CROSSMATCH without PRONASE TREATMENT
Fig 5 Inter-operator results versus Laminar wash – Analysis of tumor-bearing tissue from mice treated produced varying degrees of debris which Laminar wash efficiently reduces. Manual 1 and 2 centrifuge-based washing represents different experiences of operator-based processing. Live cell staining indicates better resolution achieved with non-pelleting wash of tumor cells.
