Protocol Designer
betaGenerate basic protocols for the OT-2 without code
Liquids and labware
Choose from a library of common labware. Define and track your reagents and samples.
Simple liquid handling
Build complex protocols from simple liquid handling commands.
Advanced pipetting controls
Fine-tune your OT-2 performance with control of pipetting speed and technique
Is the Protocol Designer right for me?
The Protocol Designer is the easiest way to start writing your own basic protocols.
With its point-and-click interface, you can quickly create dilutions, plate mappings, and other common protocols -- no coding required.
We recommend most new users start here, and then explore the Opentrons API when looking for advanced and custom functionality such as CSV mapping and embedded conditional logic.
Please note:
At this time Protocol Designer must be accessed using Chrome Browser to function correctly.
