Fully automatic pipetting workstation: Intelligently assists laboratory work

On the broad stage of modern scientific research, every small progress cannot be separated from precise experimental operations and efficient experimental equipment. An automated liquid workstation, as a device that integrates high-efficiency liquid treatment technology, is undoubtedly a brilliant star in the experimental field. It not only greatly improves the experimental efficiency, but also ensures high accuracy and safety, making it a trusted intelligent assistant for many scientific researchers.

Full automatic pipetting workstation

Efficiency and precision: All-round players in the experimentAutomated liquid workstations are known for their modular design. By flexibly configuring various functional modules, they can easily meet diverse experimental needs. These workstations can perform liquid pipetting and processing tasks accurately and efficiently, and are an indispensable all-rounder in the laboratory. For example, Opentrons Flex NGS, a fully automatic liquid workstation, has revolutionized the experimental work with its excellent design. Opentrons Flex NGS is equipped with two 8-channel pipette modules with range parameters of 1–50 µL and 5–1000 µL, respectively, and has a wide range of applications. At the same time, it also supports pressure sensing liquid level detection and process monitoring to ensure that every step of operation is safe and reliable. This high-precision liquid handling capability significantly improves the accuracy and repeatability of experimental results.

Compact design: save space and improve efficiencyIn the case of limited laboratory space, the compactness of the equipment is particularly important. The Opentrons Flex NGS measures only 87 × 69 × 84 cm (width × depth × height), accounting for only half of the laboratory bench and can be easily placed in a biosafety cabinet. This compact design not only saves valuable laboratory space, but also allows the equipment to operate in a safer and sterile environment, greatly improving work efficiency.

Multifunctional application: meets diverse experimental needsThe automated liquid workstation has a wide range of applications and is suitable for a variety of experimental scenarios. Opentrons Flex NGS not only supports routine experiments such as library construction, magnetic bead cleaning, and library sample preparation, but its efficient pipetting function can also process 1 μL to 1000 μL of liquid, with an accuracy of up to CV ≤ 2.0%. This versatility and high precision make the device an indispensable tool in the laboratory.

Modular configuration: Maximize experimental outputOpentrons Flex NGS's modular design is another highlight. The device is equipped with a Flex ring magnetic stand, a temperature control module, a thermal cycle module and a thermal oscillation module (optional), which can be flexibly configured according to experimental requirements. Flex's rotary claw hand can move the orifice and suction rack on the deck, or move it on and between modules, thereby maximizing experimental yields and extending unattended time. This flexibility and scalability enables researchers to easily deal with a variety of complex experimental tasks.

Safety and Reliable: Guardians in ExperimentsIn the experiment, safety is always the first priority. Through intelligent design and strict quality control, the automated liquid workstation ensures the safety and reliability of each step of operation. For example, the pressure-induced liquid level detection and process monitoring functions of Opentrons Flex NGS can monitor the liquid status and pipetting process in real time, effectively avoiding experimental failures or safety accidents caused by operating errors.

Continuous liquid separation, sample transfer and gradient dilution: all availableIn addition to the above functions, the automated liquid workstation also has all available functions such as continuous liquid separation, sample transfer and gradient dilution. These functions allow researchers to conduct experimental design and data analysis more efficiently, thereby accelerating the process of scientific research.

As an intelligent assistant to the laboratory, the automated liquid workstation provides strong support for scientific research work with its efficient, accurate, multifunctional and safe and reliable characteristics. In future scientific research, we have reason to believe that these smart devices will continue to play a more important role and promote the continuous progress and development of scientific research.
