The OT-2 liquid workstation is a powerful automated pipetting device with an intuitive and efficient operating interface designed to meet the needs of various complex liquid handling tasks in the laboratory. The following is a detailed introduction to the operation interface of the OT-2 liquid workstation:

1. Overview of the main interface The main interface of the OT-2 liquid workstation usually includes the following key parts: 1. Display: a high-resolution touch screen display used to display operation menus, experimental parameters, status information, etc. 2. Navigation menu: Provides quick access to various functions of the equipment, such as experimental settings, program management, equipment calibration, maintenance, etc. 3. Status indicator light: Displays the current status of the device, such as power status, operating status, alarm status, etc. 4. Shortcut keys: shortcut keys for commonly used functions, such as start/stop, pause/continue, return to the main interface, etc.

2. Experimental settings and programming 1. Experimental parameter configuration: Users can input various parameters required for the experiment through the operation interface, such as pipetting volume, pipetting speed, target position, etc. Supports multiple pipetting modes, such as single pipetting, continuous pipetting, gradient pipetting, etc. 2. Program editing and saving: Users can customize experimental programs, including pipetting steps, mixing steps, incubation steps, etc. The program editing interface provides graphical programming functions, and users can build experimental processes by dragging and setting parameters. Supports saving and loading experimental programs to facilitate users to quickly switch between different experiments. 3. Consumables management: Users can manage the consumables required for experiments in the operation interface, such as pipette tips, reagent bottles, etc. Supports automatic identification and calibration of consumables to ensure the accuracy and reliability of experiments.

3. Operation monitoring and feedback 1. Real-time monitoring: The display screen displays experimental progress, pipetting position, pipetting volume and other information in real time. Provides a dynamic graphical interface to intuitively display the experimental process. 2. Alarm and prompt: During the experiment, if an abnormal situation is encountered (such as pipetting failure, consumables are exhausted, etc.), the device will sound an alarm and display an error message on the display. Users can take corresponding solutions according to the prompt information. 3. Data recording and export: After the experiment, the device will automatically save the experimental data, including pipetting volume, pipetting time, experimental steps, etc. Users can export experimental data to external storage devices or computers for analysis and processing.

4. Equipment calibration and maintenance 1. Equipment calibration: Users can start the equipment calibration program through the operation interface to calibrate pipettes, position sensors, etc. The calibration process is simple and fast, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the device. 2. Maintenance and maintenance: The operation interface provides guidelines and suggestions for equipment maintenance and upkeep to help users extend the service life of the equipment. Users can consult the operation manual or online help documentation for more maintenance information.

5. Security and permission management 1. User login and permission verification: The device supports multi-user login, and each user has his or her own permission level. Users need to enter the correct username and password to log in to the device and access the corresponding functions. 2. Operation log recording: The device will automatically record the user's operation log, including login time, operation content, experimental results, etc. This helps users track the progress of their experiments and troubleshoot potential issues.

The operation interface of the OT-2 liquid workstation is designed to be intuitive and efficient, providing a wealth of functions and options to meet the needs of various complex liquid handling tasks in the laboratory. Users can easily perform operations such as experimental settings, program editing, operation monitoring, and equipment calibration and maintenance through the operation interface. At the same time, the device also supports user login and authority verification, as well as operation log recording and other functions to ensure the safety of experiments and the accuracy of data.
