The Opentrons COVID testing system can be used to tackle multiple COVID diagnostic workflows, including qPCR, saliva, LAMP, and pooling. If you are interested in learning more about this system, please email covid-19@opentrons.com.
Bottlenecks are a common problem when setting up any testing system—especially for COVID-19. We know that and we have helped thousands of labs worldwide resolve those bottlenecks to get up and running.
The Opentrons COVID-19 testing system processes up to 2,400 samples per day using the Opentrons OT-2 liquid handling robot, hardware modules, and verified labware.
- One of the most affordable systems on the market
- Ships worldwide
- Open documentation free on GitHub
