FAQPage Schema

How do I program Opentrons liquid handling workflows for a Flex or OT-2 robot?▼

You program Opentrons liquid handling workflows by writing Python protocols using the Opentrons Protocol API v2, which supports controlling pipettes, transferring liquids, and managing labware on both OT-2 and Flex robots.

Can I control temperature, magnetic, and thermocycler modules in an Opentrons protocol?▼

Yes, the Opentrons Protocol API v2 supports direct control of temperature modules, magnetic modules, heater-shakers, and thermocyclers, enabling complex experimental procedures like incubation and magnetic bead purification.

What is the best way to automate a 96-well plate assay with Opentrons?▼

Automating a 96-well plate assay requires writing a Python protocol to dispense reagents, control modules like a thermocycler for incubation, and manage labware definitions for precise automated liquid handling.

Does Opentrons Protocol API v2 support both single-channel and multi-channel pipettes?▼

Opentrons Protocol API v2 provides comprehensive pipette control for automated liquid handling, supporting precise transfers across labware, though specific pipette compatibility depends on the robot configuration and API level specifications.

Why do I need to adhere to API level specifications when writing Opentrons protocols?▼

Adhering to Opentrons API level specifications is required to ensure robot compatibility and access specific features, as the API v2 strictly manages hardware integration and protocol execution for OT-2 and Flex robots.

How do I transfer liquids between specific wells using Opentrons Protocol API?▼

You transfer liquids by writing a Python protocol that initializes a pipette and commands it to aspirate from a source plate well and dispense to a destination plate well using the Opentrons Protocol API v2.
