Volatile liquids, liquids that evaporate readily at room temperature, are common reagents in various applications. Read More

Molecular assays require precise pipetting reagents and samples with a diverse set of properties — including viscous ones that can clog tips, distribute unevenly and complicate reproducibility… Read More

Upon recognition of viral components, cell-mediated immune responses trigger secretion of neutralizing antibodies against viral antigens, for example nucleocapsid (N) protein and spike (S) protein present on severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Read More

Serial dilutions are both independent experiments and building blocks of more complex experimental pipelines. Applications can be as simple as generating a standard curve or more complex phenotype characterization across cell culture concentrations. In any application, precise pipetting is required to generate reliable results. Read More

Modern molecular biology, driven by ever progressing technology, continues to deliver impressive and exciting new advancements — larger studies, more powerful therapeutics, and wholly new research questions. Read More

The Swift 2S Turbo DNA Library Kit was fully automated using the Opentrons OT-2 for quick, hands-off, highquality libraries for Illumina Next-Generation Sequencing. Read More

Microbiomics is a burgeoning field with implications for a wide range of topics in human health. Modern sequencing techniques can deliver rich and novel data but are constrained by DNA extraction methods that are difficult, time consuming, and, especially in microbiomics samples, prone to bias. Read More

Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) are widely used analytic tools for detection of a target molecule (e.g., an antigen) in liquid samples for diagnostic or research purposes. Read More

The Opentrons COVID-19 Testing System is a flexible, high-throughput surveillance testing system using OT-2 hardware & validated withZymo reagents to process up to 2,400 samples per day. Read More

The next-generation sequencing (NGS) workflow includes preparing DNA libraries using commercially available and cost-effective DNA preparation kits. Optimizing this workflow by using an automated OT-2 protocol helps to improve the efficiency for DNA library preparation. Read More
