opentrons-integration

Automate PCR setup and serial dilution on an Opentrons robot by adapting prebuilt protocol templates for your specific labware. These templates integrate with the Opentrons Protocol API v2 to streamline workflow creation on Flex and OT-2 robots.

The Opentrons Protocol API v2 is used for lab automation to script protocols, control modules like thermocyclers and heater-shakers, and manage labware. It provides the framework for defining liquids and executing basic transfers on Flex and OT-2 robots.

Yes, the Opentrons API supports loading and controlling temperature, magnetic, heater-shaker, and thermocycler modules. You can integrate these modules into your protocol scripts to manage complex labware workflows on Flex and OT-2 robots.

Start writing an Opentrons protocol script by opening the provided basic transfer template. Adapt this template to define your labware, load instruments, and reference the included API documentation to guide development and testing for your robot setup.

Yes, you can use Opentrons templates for both Flex and OT-2 robots. The templates are designed to work with the Protocol API v2, allowing you to specify your robot setup and load the appropriate instruments and labware for either platform.

Prebuilt Opentrons protocol templates are limited to specific workflows like PCR setup, serial dilution, and basic transfers. Complex custom protocols require manual scripting using the Protocol API v2 references, as templates only provide a starting structure.
