Introducing the all-new OT-2—your personal pipetting robot

US and international lead time is 1 week.

Overview

The Opentrons® OT-2 is a high-precision, open-source liquid handler designed to be easy for scientists to use and flexible enough to automate many application workflows. This robot and its accompanying automation platform are used to automate hundreds of protocols and workflows in genomics, proteomics, cell-based assays, and drug discovery.  

The OT-2 has a user-friendly, plug and play graphical interface to design protocols compatible with any ANSI/SBS compliant or automation friendly labware. The base model includes an Opentrons GEN2 Single-Channel Pipette; you can also use up to two pipettes at the same time. Additional pipettes can be purchased separately and are easily interchangeable by the user. Consumables and other labware are sold separately.

Performance

• Accuracy:  15% at 1uL

40kg or 88lb

Video & Audio
Integrated video camera and audio system included for future or custom functionality

Power Requirements
100-240 VAC / 50-60 Hz
220 W MAX

Frame Composition
Rigid steel and CNC aluminum design

Operating Temperature & Relative Humidity
Recommended 20-24C. Recommended 40-60% RH. Learn more.

Speed
Fills a 96-well plate in 22 seconds. View Plate Fill Run Time.

Sterility
Full polycarbonate enclosure designed to limit exposure. The OT-2 is not a sterile environment. Add your own UV lights, or the Opentrons HEPA Module

Plate Type Compatibility
Use 96 or 384 well plates. Use 96-well plates for optimal deck compatibility & touch tips. Compatible with up to 384-well plates.

API Compatibility
Interfaces with any product that has an API. Opentrons software is open-source and users can make adjustments to the software as needed to interface with other products. While all integrations are possible, they all require custom code work i.e. most customers will need to write custom libraries and install software packages that aren't shipped with the robot. Learn more.

Interface
Windows 10, macOS 10.10 or later, Ubuntu 12.04 or later. View the Opentrons App

Tip Compatibility
Use Opentrons Tips and Opentrons Filter Tips. Opentrons guarantees the performance of Opentrons Tips which were designed specifically for the OT-2. For customers willing to accept potentially lower performance, 3rd party universal tips can be used as well. 

Labware Compatibility
Use common labware already in our Labware Library, or add your own. If your labware fits on the OT-2 but is not in the Labware Library, it can be added by you using our Labware Creator, or by our team. Learn more.
