Opentrons Flex is a liquid-handling robot designed for high throughput and complex workflows. The Flex robot is the base of a modular system that includes pipettes, a labware gripper, on-deck modules, and labware — all of which you can swap out yourself. Flex is designed with a touchscreen so you can work with it directly at the lab bench, or you can control it from across your lab with the Opentrons App or our open-source APIs.
 | Touchscreen for easy protocol setupSelect and run protocols directly from the lab bench using the touchscreen. It also guides you through deck setup and automated calibration. |
 | Gripper extends walkaway timeThe Flex Gripper can move plates and tip racks across the deck or on or off modules, maximizing throughput and walkaway time. |
 | Modules to fit your workflowOpentrons modules work seamlessly with their robots and software, and can be easily swapped out yourself. Choose from on-deck Thermocycler, Heater-Shaker, Temperature and Magnetic Block. VIEW MORE MODULES |
