What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you write correct, production-ready Opentrons Protocol API v2 instructions so your Flex or OT-2 liquid-handling runs reliably without manual trial-and-error.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Protocol API v2 structure: define protocol metadata, requirements, and a run() entry point that Opentrons can execute.
- Deck, labware, instruments, and modules: load pipettes, labware, adapters, and hardware modules (temperature, magnetic, heater-shaker, thermocycler).
- Liquid handling workflows: execute transfers, distributions, consolidations, mixing, aspiration/dispense flow control, and tip strategy patterns for common assays like serial dilution and PCR setup.
- Simulation and operational safety: support simulation-aware comments and standard operational controls (pauses, delays, rail lights on Flex).
Quick Start
Use the opentrons-integration skill to generate an Opentrons Protocol API v2 Python protocol that runs a serial dilution on a 96-well plate using a single Flex pipette with efficient tip usage.
