Opentrons Flex reagent dispensing workstation includes: Flex automatic pipetting robot, pipettes, tips, labware and customized protocols.
With the Flex Plasmid Prep Workstation, you can automate your magnetic bead-based plasmid extraction and purification workflows. The workstation is equipped with high-capacity pipettes, heated shaker modules, and magnets to accommodate most bead-based chemistries. Protocol development is included in the workstation to ensure Flex is ready to run immediately after installation.
The Flex Plasmid Preparation Workstation supports the following workflow steps:
bacterial cell lysis
Magnetic bead separation
The Flex Plasmid Preparation Workstation comes with hardware, consumables, and custom protocol development for your assay.
Frequently asked questions about Opentrons Flex and OT-2 products新模式,Please click here.
Do I need to know programming knowledge to use Opentrons Flex?
No knowledge of programming is required to use the Opentrons platform. You can create protocols using Opentrons' concise and easy-to-understand protocol design tools. Additionally, our application engineering technical team can build custom protocols for you.
What services can I enjoy by purchasing Opentrons Flex?
On-site installation, remote service and annual preventive maintenance.
What kind of labware is Opentrons Flex compatible with?
Like the OT-2, the Flex can support any automation-compatible, ANSI/SLAS-compliant well plate, as well as a wide variety of EP tubes and screw-cap centrifuge tubes, including centrifuge tubes up to 50 mL. You can view all supported labware in our Laboratory equipment library.
Do I need a computer to connect to Opentrons Flex? Or can I operate directly on the touch screen?
Users do not need a computer connection to run the protocol. After creating the protocol on your computer, upload it to Flex where it can be operated via the touch screen.
Can I use OT-2 pipettes with Opentrons Flex?
No, OT-2 pipettes are not compatible with Opentrons Flex.
Are the Opentrons Flex side panels removable?
Yes, the side windows and front door of the Opentrons Flex are removable.
Does Opentrons Flex have collision detection?
Opentrons Flex will detect collisions by comparing the actual movement of the embedded motor to the expected movement. For example, if the robot expects 2 motor rotations, but only completes 1 due to a collision (stopping motor movement), the robot will detect the difference between the expected movement and the actual movement. An error message will then appear telling you that recalibration is required.
Can I use one computer to control multiple Opentrons Flex?
Can! The same applies to OT-2.
How many saved protocols can be displayed on Opentrons Flex?
Users can save up to 8 protocols on the Opentrons Flex touch screen.
How much clearance is there in the rear of the Opentrons Flex for power and ventilation?
20 cm (8 inches) of side and back clearance for cables, USB connections, and to dissipate exhaust air from instruments such as thermal cycling modules or temperature control modules.
