In this study, the Opentrons OT-2 Nucleic Acid Extraction Workstation was used with the Zymo Research Direct-Zol 96 MagBead RNA kit to automate RNA extraction and purification. RNA quality, yield, and integrity were determined for 12 HeLa samples stored in TRIzol and an assessment to detect cross-contamination between plate wells… Read More
The Opentrons Thermocycler Module is a fully automation on-deck thermocycler, providing hands-free PCR in a 96-well plate format. It is compatible with all Opentrons robots and software to allow for fully automated PCR reaction setup and thermocycling on your Opentrons robot. Read More
The Opentrons Heater-Shaker Module GEN1 provides on-deck heating and orbital shaking. The module can be heated to 95 °C, and can shake samples from 200 to 3000 rpm. Read More
The Opentrons Thermocycler Module GEN2 provides ondeck, fully automated thermocycling. The module enablesautomation of upstream and downstream workflow steps… Read More
Automation has become increasingly vital to accommodate the growing demands of sample throughput, reliability, and reduced hands-on-time. Read More
The Opentrons® OT-2 effectively performs qPCR quantification of NGS libraries, maintaining high precision while reducing hands-on time. Two methods of sample normalization were tested: individually for each sample or pooled with enzymatic normalization. Read More
Volatile liquids, liquids that evaporate readily at room temperature, are common reagents in various applications. Read More
