Custom Hardware & Engineering Development

Built for differentiated workflows. Engineered for scale.

When standard automation isn’t enough, Opentrons works with Partners to deliver purpose-built hardware, system modifications and workflow adaptations on Flex.

From custom pipettes and modules to power architecture redesigns and OEM-ready system integration, we help partners move faster, from concept to validated deployment.


Engineered by experts, built to scale

Cross-functional engineering support from prototype through production-ready automation

Custom liquid handling & precision dispensing

We design and validate custom pipetting and dispensing solutions when standard liquid handling can’t meet performance requirements: supporting low-volume, high-precision workflows, proprietary consumables, and specialized geometries.

Custom modules & deck-integrated hardware

From custom modules and fixtures to labware carriers and clamps, we develop deck-integrated hardware engineered for repeatability, usability, and OEM-ready manufacturing.

Power, cabling & system architecture

We redesign power, cabling, and system architecture to support embedded devices and complex deck configurations—addressing safety, thermal behavior, EMI, and long-term field reliability from the start.
