The OT-2 nucleic acid extraction workstation is a highly modular and customizable laboratory automation equipment designed to meet the diverse needs of users in different application scenarios. In addition to the basic core components (such as OT-2 automated pipetting platform, high-precision pipettes, etc.), the workstation also provides a variety of optional modules to expand its functionality and application scope. Here are some of the main optional modules:

OT-2 nucleic acid extraction workstation module configuration

1. Magnetic bead purification module: Function: Uses high-strength lifting magnets, compatible with a variety of standard and deep-well laboratory equipment and magnetic bead products, to achieve magnetic bead separation and purification of samples. Application: In the nucleic acid extraction process, the magnetic bead purification module is one of the key steps, which can effectively remove impurities and improve the purity and quality of nucleic acids. 2. Thermal oscillation module: Function: Provides deck heating and microplate orbital oscillation functions for sample incubation, mixing and homogenization. Application: In experimental steps that require temperature control and oscillating mixing, the thermal oscillation module can significantly improve experimental efficiency and accuracy. 3. Temperature control module: Function: Precisely control the temperature during the experiment to ensure the consistency of experimental conditions. Application: The temperature control module can be used for experimental steps that require a constant temperature environment, such as enzymatic reactions, sample incubation, etc. 4. Thermal cycle module: Function: simulate PCR and other experimental processes that require temperature cycles, including stages of heating, cooling, and heat preservation. Application: The thermal cycle module is suitable for experiments such as PCR amplification, DNA denaturation, and renaturation that require temperature cycle control. 5. HEPA module: Function: Provides air purification function to ensure the cleanliness of the experimental environment. Application: HEPA module helps reduce the risk of contamination during experiments and improves the accuracy and reliability of experiments. 6. Other optional modules: According to specific experimental needs, the OT-2 nucleic acid extraction workstation can also be equipped with other optional modules, such as magnetic bead separator, sample preparation module, reagent distribution module, etc. These modules can further expand the functions of the workstation to meet the needs of users in different application scenarios.

Not all of the above modules are optional, and the specific configuration needs to be determined according to the user's experimental needs and budget. In addition, Opentrons is constantly introducing new modules and functions to continue to improve the performance and application scope of the OT-2 nucleic acid extraction workstation. Therefore, when selecting and configuring the OT-2 nucleic acid extraction workstation, it is recommended that users contact our Opentrons platform customer service or call the hotline for consultation to ensure that the selected module can meet actual needs.
