The Opentrons Flex is an advanced and easy-to-program liquid-handling robot designed to level the playing field for labs of all sizes and make advanced lab automation accessible to more researchers than ever before.

Combining advanced robotics with a deep ecosystem of open-source software, the Flex has the potential to automate protocols and fit into any workflow, releasing scientists from automation systems that overburden their time, reduce their throughput and limit the scope of their projects.

The Opentrons Flex features easily reconfigurable and modular hardware, including swappable pipettes ranging from 1 to 96 channels, gripper arm, on-deck thermocycler, heater-shaker, temperature module and magnetic plate.

The fully open-source software and firmware are reagent- and labware-agnostic and can easily be adapted to changes in workflow and applications. The user-friendly and cloud-based software comes equipped with a robust library of open-access protocols. Furthermore, the drag-and-drop interface allows users to create protocols tailored to their specific needs. The Flex’s modern API allows for control over the robot and provides seamless integration to build scalable workflows.

The Opentrons Flex comes in different workstation configurations, suitable for NGS library prep, PCR, nucleic acid extraction, protein purification, sample and reagent prep, plasmid purification and synthetic biology workflows.
