SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires opentrons, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Opentrons integration skill enables users to programmatically compose, load, and execute Protocol API v2 protocols for Flex and OT-2 robots, including loading labware, modules, and liquids, reducing manual scripting effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Write Protocol API v2 protocols in Python
  • Load and manage labware, modules (temperature, magnetic, heater-shaker, thermocycler), and liquids
  • Validate protocols via simulation and provide templates (basic, pcr, serial dilution) for common workflows
  • Use cases: PCR setup, serial dilutions, plate-based automation

Quick Start

Create or customize a Protocol API v2 script, load required labware and modules, and run a test simulation to validate before live runs.

Frequently Asked Questions about opentrons-integration

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Opentrons liquid handling protocols for PCR and serial dilutions?

Opentrons API v2 supports temperature, magnetic, heater-shaker, and thermocycler modules. You can programmatically load and manage these modules within your Python protocol script to control automated liquid handling workflows across various plate-based applications.

Can I validate Opentrons protocols before running them on the actual robot?

The Opentrons Skill requires the opentrons Python dependency to function. You need a compatible Python environment with the opentrons package installed to programmatically compose, load, and execute Protocol API v2 scripts.

What is the best way to load labware and liquids in an Opentrons Flex protocol?

The best way to load labware and liquids in an Opentrons Flex protocol is using Protocol API v2. This API fulfills requirements for defining deck setup, loading instruments, and specifying liquid metadata programmatically within your Python script.

Does this Opentrons integration support both OT-2 and Flex robots?

Yes, this Opentrons integration supports both OT-2 and Flex robots. It automates the creation and execution of Protocol API v2 protocols, allowing you to manage labware, modules, and liquids across both robotic platforms.
