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.
Features:
-
Choose your hardware and pipettes: 11 deck slots, plus trash, and space for two swappable, single and 8-Channel pipettes. Magnetic, Temp, Thermocycler, Heater-Shaker, and HEPA Filter modules available.
-
-
Use your existing labware and reagents: Reagent and consumables agnostic. Compatible with any ANSI/SLAS-compliant labware
- Small Footprint, Big Impact
-
- Fits on half a standard lab bench. Performs like robots costing 10x more (Accuracy: 15% at 1uL; Precision: 5% at 1uL).
-
- Space for two pipettes
-
- Reliable liquid transfers from 1–1000 µL with our swappable single- and 8-channel pipettes.
-
- Automate the most time-consuming applications
-
The quickest way to save time in the lab. You can easily automate a range of basic liquid handling tasks on the OT-2 pipetting robot, including tube and microplate filling, serial dilution, cherry picking, normalization and sample pooling.

- 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 are not shipped with the robot.
- Interface: Windows 10, macOS 10.10 or later, Ubuntu 12.04 or later
- Tip compatibility: Opentrons guarantees the performance of Opentrons Tips which were specifically designed for the OT-2. The OT-2 was designed to accommodate all universal bore tip types, but tip quality and dimensions can vary significantly so third party tip performance cannot be guaranteed by Opentrons.
- Labware compatibility: Use common labware 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.
- Warranty: One year warranty against manufacturer defects Stress tested to last a minimum of 3 years of full-time use
- Return policy: 60 day, 100% risk free
- Certifications: Certifications complete (CE, FCC, NRTL, CB, ISO 9001) Not certified/validated (IVD, GMP)
