Centrifuge-Less Automation of Suspension Cell Sample Preparation

In our webinar from February 24, 2021, Curiox Applications Scientist Ann Wang and Peak Analysis and Automation (PAA) Technical Director Dr. Malcolm Crook discussed how Laminar Wash™ technology can readily automate sample preparation, sans centrifuge.

Ann starts things off, introducing Laminar Wash technology and Curiox solutions for automated cell prep. She also addressed questions in the Q&A with data. Highlights include:

• How Laminar Wash addresses barriers to quality and efficient sample prep (1:13​)
• A breakdown of how Laminar Wash works (3:15​)
• Laminar Wash instruments for automating your cell prep (7:04​)
• Details on the AUTO1000 turnkey solution (8:50​) and integrating the HT2000 in existing lab workflows (10:30​)
• An example of Laminar Wash improving workflows for large pharma (25:57​)
• An example of Laminar Wash improving retention of rare immune cell types for immunotherapy (29:25​)

Malcolm focused on PAA’s robotic and software options that can turn the HT2000 into an automated workhorse in your lab. Highlights include:

• An overview of PAA’s product offerings from benchtop to large workcells (11:20​)
• Introduction to the S-LAB plate handler, an ideal companion to the HT2000 (12:40​)
• Advantages of integrating the HT2000 in automated workflows (15:02​)
• The S-LAB and HT2000 match-made-in-heaven in action (17:28​)
• Overview and demo of PAA’s Harmony Control software (18:54​)
