Opentrons Labworks

Opentrons Labworks specializes in laboratory automation software that bridges the gap between biologists and robotics, enabling researchers to design, simulate, and execute protocols on the company’s OT-2 and Flex liquid-handling robots without writing a single line of code. The publisher’s flagship application provides an intuitive graphical interface for constructing multi-step workflows—such as PCR setup, NGS library prep, serial dilutions, or ELISA assays—while automatically calculating tip usage, labware positions, and pipetting parameters. Protocols can be previewed in a 3-D digital twin of the deck to catch conflicts before a run, then transferred to the physical robot via secure local network or USB. Built-in version control and audit trails help labs meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and ISO 13485 documentation requirements, and open Application Programming Interfaces allow integration with LIMS, electronic notebooks, and custom Python scripts for advanced scheduling or data parsing. Typical installations range from academic teaching labs running low-throughput plasmid minipreps to high-throughput core facilities automating hundreds of plates per day in drug-discovery screening. The same installer supports both Windows and macOS workstations, updates firmware on connected modules, and maintains a library of verified community protocols that can be cloned and modified for new assays. Opentrons Labworks software is available free of charge on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always pulling the latest release and permitting batch installation alongside other laboratory or productivity tools.
