The principle of forward displacement directly acts on the liquid through the piston, achieving precise control and efficient execution of liquid transfer, providing scientific researchers with unprecedented convenience and accuracy. In the Opentrons OT-2 pipette, the forward displacement principle not only optimizes the pipetting process, but also significantly improves the reliability and repeatability of experiments, injecting new ideas into research in many fields such as life sciences, biotechnology, and medical diagnosis. New energy.

1. Overview of the Forward Displacement Principle The forward displacement principle means that the piston acts directly on the liquid, and the liquid is sucked in and out through the continuous movement of the piston. The advantage of this principle is that it can control the movement of liquid more directly and accurately, avoiding the interference of air segments or air columns, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of pipetting.

2. Forward displacement application of Opentrons OT-2 pipette 1. High-precision pipetting Opentrons OT-2 pipette uses precision motor control, combined with the principle of forward displacement, to achieve precise transfer of small volumes of liquid. Its single-channel pipette can accurately transfer liquids from 1μL to 1000μL, while its eight-channel pipette can accurately transfer liquids from 1μL to 300μL. This high precision makes the Opentrons OT-2 pipette widely used in molecular biology diagnostics, biotechnology, medical and other fields that require precise control of liquid volume. 2. The forward displacement principle of high-efficiency pipetting allows the Opentrons OT-2 pipette to respond to control signals faster during the pipetting process, thereby increasing the speed of pipetting. At the same time, its modular design and open source software support also allow users to write customized experimental programs to achieve automated pipetting, further improving experimental efficiency. 3. Applicable to a variety of liquid types. Since the forward displacement principle avoids interference from air segments or air columns, the Opentrons OT-2 pipette can more accurately control the movement of liquids, and is therefore suitable for many types of liquids, including high-precision liquids. Viscosity liquids, foam liquids and organic solvents that require pre-rinsing, etc. This wide range of applicability makes the Opentrons OT-2 pipette valuable in multiple scientific research and industrial fields.

3. Application examples In scientific research experiments, Opentrons OT-2 pipette has been successfully used in a variety of experimental scenarios. For example, in terms of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) sample preprocessing library construction and target enrichment, the Opentrons OT-2 pipette combines the forward displacement principle to achieve automated pipetting and target enrichment, improving processing efficiency and ensuring improve the quality of experimental data. In addition, the Opentrons OT-2 pipette also demonstrated its advantages of high precision and efficiency in automated experiments with Avida Point-n-Seq hybridization targeted sequencing chemistry.

The application of the forward displacement principle on the Opentrons OT-2 pipette enables the pipette to have the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, and suitability for a variety of liquid types. These advantages make Opentrons OT-2 pipettes have broad application prospects in scientific research and industrial fields.
