Specifications of pipetting heads supported by Opentrons fully automatic pipetting workstations

Fully automatic pipetting workstations are an important part of modern laboratory automation equipment. They can not only improve experimental efficiency, but also reduce human operation errors and are widely used in medicine, chemistry, biology and other fields. When using fully automatic pipetting workstations, the selection of pipetting heads is particularly critical because pipetting heads of different specifications are adapted to different experimental needs.

Opentrons fully automatic pipetting workstation

1. Single-channel pipetting head specifications Range range: 1~1000μL Applicable model: Opentrons OT-2 and other fully automatic pipetting workstation features: Single-channel pipetting head can accurately transfer liquid, suitable for experimental scenarios where high-precision pipetting is required. Its range is a wide range and can meet the transfer needs from trace amounts to large amounts of liquids.

2. Specifications of eight-channel pipetting headsScope range: 1~300μL Applicable model: Opentrons OT-2 and other fully automatic pipetting workstation features: Eight-channel pipetting heads can transfer liquids of eight samples at the same time, significantly improving experimental efficiency. Its range is moderate and is suitable for experimental scenarios such as high-throughput screening and PCR reactions.

3. Specifications of Flex Series Pipet HeadsOpentrons' Flex Series fully automatic pipetting workstations also support more flexible pipetting head configurations, including: single-channel or eight-channel Flex pipettes: can be installed on the Z-axis gantry of the Flex workstation, select the appropriate pipette according to experimental needs, and replace it at any time. 96-channel pipette: Using air displacement technology, high-precision pipetting of 1~1000μL can be performed. The pipette is equipped with intelligent sensors, which have automatic calibration, real-time positioning and error detection functions.

IV. Pipethead compatibilityOpentrons fully automatic pipetting workstations are usually compatible with ANSI/SLAS standard orifice plates, as well as other laboratory tools commonly used in the market, including conical reservoirs and test tubes up to 50mL. This means that users can choose the appropriate pipetting head and matching equipment according to experimental needs.

5. Selection suggestionsWhen selecting pipettes for Opentrons fully automatic pipetting workstations, it is recommended to consider the following factors: 1. Experimental requirements: Select the appropriate pipette specifications and quantity according to the specific needs of the experiment. 2. Accuracy requirements: For experiments that require high-precision pipetting, select a single-channel pipette or a high-precision multi-channel pipette. 3. Flux Requirements: For high-throughput experiments, select a multi-channel pipette or a 96-channel pipette to improve experimental efficiency. 4. Cost consideration: Select the appropriate pipette specifications and quantity according to budget and experimental frequency to balance cost and efficiency.
