Opentrons Flex fully automated pipetting workstation

Flex fully automatic pipetting workstation is a new technological breakthrough of Opentrons in the field of laboratory automation. It has high flexibility and wide applicability, can better adapt to the experimental process, and can be integrated into most mainstream projects or experiments in the field of life sciences. , bringing convenience through high-throughput and expanding the scope of experimental projects. Flex fully automatic pipetting workstation saves you valuable time and resources, making scientific experiments more efficient and flexible.

1. Main advantages of Flex fully automatic pipetting workstation:

1. Opentrons open source ecosystem supports AI-empowered laboratory automation

2. Intelligent fully automated pipetting, comprehensive upgrade of hardware and software systems:

1) Fully automatic plate transfer gripper - high-efficiency plate transfer: The Opentrons Flex plate transfer gripper is installed on the Z-axis gantry and can grip laboratory equipment and can be used on modules such as magnetic bead separation plates or thermal cyclers. The transfer plate can also be moved to the side panel to replenish tips or labware.

2) 96-channel high-precision pipetting - increased throughput: Flex pipette uses air displacement technology and can perform high-precision pipetting of 1-1000 μL. The pipette is equipped with smart sensors that provide automatic calibration, real-time positioning and error detection. Flex's Z-axis gantry can install any two single-channel or 8-channel pipettes, or configure a Flex 96-channel pipette separately. You can choose the appropriate pipette according to your experimental needs and replace it at any time.

3) 7-inch LCD touch screen system - easy to operate: Flex is equipped with a 7-inch LCD touch screen, which is made of anti-scratch and anti-damage LCD material. Users can complete experimental settings through a simple touch screen. Flex also has a one-click calibration function, making calibration simple and easy. The software system has intelligent graphical prompts, making the operation simple and easy to understand.

4) 12+4 deck space upgrade - more space: The Flex deck now has 12 main deck slots and 4 additional deck slots for placing tips, labware and functional modules. The upgrade of plate space can better meet the needs of scientific researchers and improve scientific research efficiency.
