Opentrons pipettes are designed and tested to handle a wide range of aqueous solutions common to biochemistry. Our pipettes haven’t been tested for use with solvents and other non-aqueous chemicals.
We recommend the below chart to determine any possible interactions before using solvents on the OT-2. If you do not see the chemical you will be using below please consult a chemical compatibility database.
OT-2 Pipette Chemical Compatibility Chart:

B – Good: Minor Effect, slight corrosion, or discoloration.
C – Fair: Moderate Effect, not recommended for continuous use. Softening or loss of strength, and swelling may occur.
D – Severe Effect: Not recommended for any use.
