We’re excited to announce two powerful new additions to the Opentrons Flex platform — now shipping worldwide: the Opentrons Flex Stacker Module and the Opentrons Flex 96-Channel Pipette (1–200 μL). These innovations are designed to help labs scale up, automate faster, and achieve reliable high-throughput performance.
Boost Your Throughput with Flex Stacker & 96-Channel Pipette
The new Flex Stacker Module increases workflow capacity while conserving deck space, enabling users to process more plates automatically. Paired with the 96-Channel Pipette (1–200 μL), labs can perform fast, precise liquid transfers ideal for assays, qPCR, screening, and genomics workflows.
Whether you’re scaling up screening or boosting daily sample throughput, these upgrades make the Opentrons Flex platform a complete solution for high-throughput automation.
Featured Protocol: Automating PacBio® HiFi Library Preparation
Try the automated PacBio HiFi Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) Library Preparation protocol now available in the Opentrons Protocol Library. This verified workflow lets you automate long-read sequencing prep on the Opentrons Flex, improving consistency and hands-free operation.
Opentrons App 8.6 – What’s New
The latest Opentrons App 8.6 release introduces new functions to fully support the Flex’s high-throughput hardware, including the Stacker Module and low-volume 96-Channel Pipette. This update enhances scheduling, deck setup, and workflow integration for large-scale runs.
