Laboratory Automation

The Opentrons® OT-2 is a high-precision, open-source liquid handler designed to be easy for scientists to use and flexible enough to automate many application workflows. This robot and its accompanying automation platform are used to automate hundreds of protocols and workflows in genomics, proteomics, cell-based assays, and drug discovery.

The OT-2 has a user-friendly, plug and play graphical interface to design protocols compatible with any ANSI/SBS compliant or automation friendly labware. The base model includes an Opentrons GEN2 Single-Channel Pipette; you can also use up to two pipettes at the same time. Additional pipettes can be purchased separately and are easily interchangeable by the user. Consumables and other labware are sold separately.

The future of lab automation is here.

Opentrons Flex is a liquid-handling robot designed for high throughput and complex workflows. The Flex robot is the base of a modular system that includes pipettes, a labware gripper, on-deck modules, and labware — all of which you can swap out yourself. Flex is designed with a touchscreen so you can work with it directly at the lab bench, or you can control it from across your lab with the Opentrons App or our open-source APIs.

Note: The Opentrons Flex 96-channel pipette occupies both available pipette mounts when loaded.

Opentrons Flex robot bundle to support end-to-end NGS workflows in high throughput. Configured with a 96-channel pipette and modules to support 96 sample tagmentation, ligation, barcoding, a-tailing, amplification, bead purification, size selection etc. Add any pipette, module, or labware to your purchase of a workstation for a 10% discount.

All Opentrons Flex robots manufactured before Q3 2025 will require a robot upgrade to support the Opentrons Flex Stacker. The robot upgrade must be conducted by an on-site field service engineer. The cost of this upgrade and on-site visit are included.

The Opentrons Flex Proteomics Workstation delivers unparalleled efficiency and scalability for your proteomic workflows. Equipped with an automated absorbance plate reader, a heater-shaker, and a magnetic block, this workstation is perfect for processing your protein sample with ease.

Its advanced absorbance measurement capabilities and magnetic block enables full walk away sample purification, digestion and quantification. A built-in waste chute ensures smooth removal of used consumables, keeping operations clean and streamlined. Add any pipette, module, or labware to your purchase of a workstation for a 10% discount.

For scaling up and fully automating PCR setup and thermocycling.

With the Flex PCR Workstation, you can automate your PCR setup and thermocycling at the scale you need to increase efficiency, reduce errors, and save hands-on time. Configure your workstation with our on-deck Thermocycler for end-to-end automation, or with no Thermocycler for automated PCR setup with off-deck thermocycling.
