OT-2 robots that were manufactured before 2019-09-05 need a hardware adjustment before you can attach GEN2 pipettes to them. Read More

This article provides information on performance verification of Opentrons GEN2 pipettes used on the OT-2. Read More

This article provides a brief overview of the functionality of GEN2 pipettes used on the OT-2. Read More

You may notice mechanical noises from the robot that could be louder than what you’re accustomed to while using a P300 8-Channel GEN2, but these noises are likely within the normal range of operation. Read More

If you use an OT-2R with the incorrect bottom pipette attachment screw for a P300 8-Channel GEN2, you might experience problems with the pipette not ejecting or dropping tips. Read More

The pipette mounts on the OT-2R feature a new mechanism to more easily level multi-channel pipettes. Read More

8-Channel pipettes are especially sensitive to tilt and must be leveled flat during the pipette attachment process. An improperly attached or unleveled 8-Channel pipette can affect the reliability of tip pickup and ejection, evenness of aspiration and dispensation, and accuracy of calibration. Read More

This article covers how to adjust the height at which pipettes aspirate and dispense in both Python API and Protocol Designer protocols. Read More

This article outlines compatibility considerations between GEN1 and GEN2 pipettes for use with OT-One and OT-2 robots. Read More

Normally, when you calibrate your pipettes, each pipette automatically taps five tip probe switches hidden under the OT-2’s trash bin. The pipette lowers a safe distance from each switch, then slowly moves towards the switch until it taps it. On some OT-2s, the pipette can lower… Read More
