Fully automatic rotating plate gripper: installed on the Z-axis gantry, used to grip laboratory equipment, and can move the rotating plate on magnetic bead separation plates, thermal cyclers and other modules, and can also be moved to the side panel position To replenish tips or labware. 4. 7-inch LCD touch screen system: As a user interaction interface, it is used to set experimental parameters, monitor experimental progress and receive experimental results. 5. Board space design: The Flex deck has 12 main deck spaces and 4 additional board spaces. 6. Consumables compatibility: The Flex fully automatic pipetting workstation is compatible with ANSI/SLAS standard well plates and other commonly used laboratory equipment on the market, including conical reservoirs and test tubes up to 50mL.

2. Product Features 1. Efficiency: Opentrons Flex fully automatic pipetting workstation can quickly complete a large amount of pipetting work, significantly improving the speed and repeatability of sample processing. 2. Accuracy: Flex pipette uses air displacement technology and can perform high-precision pipetting of 1-1000 μL. At 1 μL, its accuracy is 8% and precision is 5%, meeting the needs of high-precision experiments. 3. Flexibility: Its Z-axis gantry can install any two single-channel or 8-channel pipettes, or configure a Flex 96-channel pipette separately. Users can choose the appropriate pipette according to experimental needs and replace it at any time. 4. Ease of use: The 7-inch LCD touch screen system uses anti-scratch and anti-damage liquid crystal material. Users can complete experimental settings by simply touching the screen. The system also has a one-click calibration function, making calibration simple and easy. At the same time, the software system has intelligent graphic prompts, making the operation simple and easy to understand. 5. Large space plate design 12+4 plate space: The Flex deck now has 12 main deck spaces and 4 additional plate spaces for placing tips, laboratory equipment and functional modules. The upgrade of plate space can better meet the needs of scientific researchers and improve scientific research efficiency. 6. AI-empowered Flex fully-automatic pipetting workstation is compatible with AI tools. Users can integrate AI software with Opentrons Flex products, allowing AI to independently learn resources in the application protocol library and achieve intelligent protocol development. This greatly improves the efficiency of protocol development and maximizes the experimental creativity of scientific researchers.
