Automated liquid handling robots (a class of devices that can include automated pipetting systems as well as microplate washers) dispense and sample liquids in tubes or wells and are often integrated as automated injection modules as the front end of liquid chromatographic systems. These critical labor saving devices offer precision sample preparation for high throughput screening/sequencing (HTC), liquid or powder weighing, sample preparation, and bio-assays of many kinds. The automated pipetting systems handle volumes ranging from .5 ul to 5 L. These units may have built in components in order to feed samples into heating and cooling systems for thermal cycling or shaking systems depending on the target application, or are physically constructed for easy integration with peripheral labware. Liquid handlers with robotic arms allow the user to program the devices to manipulate external labware to extend the systems uses. Other desirable features include programs to control start/stop functions and to choreograph sequential steps necessary for chemical and biochemical assays and for injection options.

The Flex robot is the base of a modular system that includes pipettes, a labware gripper, on-deck modules, and labware; all of which you can swap out yourself. Flex is designed with a touchscreen so you can work with it directly at the lab bench, or you can control it from across your lab with the Opentrons App or our open-source APIs.
With the Flex NGS Workstation, you can automate your NGS workflow at the scale you need, using any leading reagent system on the market. This workstation enables scientists to:
- Increase efficiency
- Reduce errors
- Save hands-on time.
Automate up to 48 samples with a 2 x 8-Channel configuration and up to 96 samples with the 96-Channel pipette configuration.
Features:
- Pipettes: Up to two 1, 8, or 96-channel pipettes
- Plate Formats: 96-well and 384-well plates
- Volume: 1 to 1000 µL
- Software: Create protocols using our open-source Python API or code-free Protocol Designer
