The OT-2 is a bench-top liquid handler designed to be accessible and flexible enough to automate many common applications
Are you unsure which pipettingrobot is the right one for you? Compare them below.
"The choice landed on Opentrons because we had an urgent need for some relatively simple pipetting tasks in connection with our Covid analysis. The Opentrons robot could be delivered and installed quickly, so the robot was up and running fast. It was also important that the robot had a simple user operation, but at the same time was open-source, so that we could program more complex programs ourselves."
- Søren Jepsen, Bioanalyst in charge of the function Regional Hospital North Jutland, Clinical Biochemistry Department, in Hjørring

Another popular application for automation, especially if you’re prepping a lot of samples. You can use the OT-2 pipetting robot to combine samples and PCR mastermix in the reaction plate that will go into the thermocycler or qPCR machine.
With the OT-2 Dual Flow Chromatography (DFC) Protein Purification Workstation, you can automate your small-scale protein purification and proteomics sample processing. This Opentrons Protein Purification Workstation uses Biotage PhyTip columns to perform dual flow chromatography-based protein purification.
The quickest way to save time in the lab. You can easily automate a range of basic liquid handling tasks on the OT-2 pipetting robot, including tube and microplate filling, serial dilution, cherry picking, normalization and sample pooling. Choose from a range of verified protocols in our Protocol Library, create your own, or ask our team to create one for you.

Interfaces with any product that has an API. Opentrons software is open-source and users can make adjustments to the software as needed to interface with other products. While all integrations are possible, they all require custom code work i.e. most customers will need to write custom libraries and install software packages that are not shipped with the robot.
Windows 10, macOS 10.10 or later, Ubuntu 12.04 or later.
Use Opentrons Tips and Opentrons Filter Tips. Opentrons guarantees the performance of Opentrons Tips which were specifically designed for the OT-2. The OT-2 was designed to accommodate all universal bore tip types, but tip quality and dimensions can vary significantly so third party tip performance cannot be guaranteed by Opentrons.
Use common labware already in our Labware Library, or add your own. If your labware fits on the OT-2 but is not in the Labware Library, it can be added by you using our Labware Creator, or by our team.
One year warranty against manufacturer defects. Stress tested to last a minimum of 3 years of full-time use.

Out of the box, the OT-2 can support any automation-compatible, ANSI/SLAS compliant well plates, plus a wide range of snap-cap and screw-cap tubes up to a 50 mL conical with our 4-in-1 Tube Rack. You can see the full range of supported labware in our Labware Library.
You do not need to know how to code to use the Opentrons platform. Protocols can be created using Opentrons’ plug-and-play protocol design tools. We also have an Applications Engineering team that can build custom protocols for you.
You can find our community’s collection of OT-2 protocols within Opentrons' Protocol Library. Feel free to search the library for a protocol that matches your lab’s workflows!
If you don’t see a protocol that matches your lab’s processes, we offer a couple different options for creating your protocol. Additionally, you can leverage our team of engineers for a custom protocol development.
Due to the open-source nature of the robot, many of our users have found success integrating the OT-2 with third party lab equipment.
Integrations such as these would be a DIY project taken on by your lab, and would not fall under the scope of Mikrolab - Frisenette.
The OT-2 has the following certifications: CE, FCC, NRTL, ISO 9001, CB Note that the robot is not IVD or GMP certified/validated
Labs within the Opentrons community have installed the OT-2 pipetting robot in biological safety cabinets (as well as in inert atmosphere glove boxes), including Labconco’s Logic Vue Class II enclosures and Baker’s AeroPROTECT 360 enclosures. We recommend you cross-check the dimensions of the OT-2 with those of your chosen biological safety cabinet.
