The Staging Slot is an attachable component that expands the platform space of the Opentrons Flex liquid handling robot. You can install up to four slots, creating a new column (A4 to D4) along the right side of the deck. Adding additional slots can increase the storage capacity of labware and help improve the automation capabilities of the robot.
Reminder: Only the staging area slots can be installed in column 3 (A3 to D3). If you need to expand the A3 board position, you need to move the location of the trash basket.
