Opentrons Flex Robot
The future of lab automation is here.
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.
Note: The Opentrons Flex 96-channel pipette occupies both available pipette mounts when loaded.

Easily Swap Pipettes
Reliable liquid transfers from 1–1000 µL with our swappable 1-, 8-, and 96-channel pipettes.
Touchscreen for Easy Protocol Setup
Select and run protocols directly from the lab bench using the touchscreen. It also guides you through deck setup and automated calibration.
Gripper Extends Walkaway Time
The 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 Workflow
