Webinar
Live from the Lab:
How using a Flex Prep can replace your manual pipetting steps
On-demand
With Flex Prep and our new Quick Transfer software, you can develop, visualize and run pipetting tasks in as little as a minute, all on the touchscreen. It’s faster than a manual pipette and you can walk away to set up the next step in your experiment while Flex Prep completes your pipetting.
This webinar includes a live demonstration of the Quick Transfer software to complete common pipetting tasks, including reformatting samples, adding reagents to a plate and plate stamping from a 96-well to a 384-well plate. We also demonstrate other new capabilities including how to instantly upload a .csv file to specify irregular pipetting tasks such as normalizing concentrations or cherry picking samples.
Lastly, our experts demonstrate resources for writing more complex multi-step protocols, or downloading verified protocols from the Opentrons Protocol Library.
Access this webinar to learn:
- How to seamlessly move between a manual pipette and a Flex Prep for individual experiment steps
- The types of tasks that a Flex Prep with Quick Transfer software can complete with only seconds of touchscreen setup
- How to use the upload feature to add different volumes or pick from selected wells specified in a .csv file
Who should watch:
- Anybody who uses a manual pipette and would like an assistant to complete their pipetting steps while they look ahead in their protocol
- Anybody who routinely has to pipette complicated patterns, for example to/from select wells, or changing volumes between wells
- Anybody who wants to start with simple automation of individual pipetting tasks, but have the option to automate entire experiments in the future
