What problem does it solve?
The Opentrons Gripper enables fully automated, hands-free labware movement across deck locations, modules, waste chutes, and off-deck storage. It eliminates manual plate transfers and reduces protocol pauses, enabling complex workflows to run uninterrupted.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated labware movement: Transfer plates, reservoirs, and tip racks between deck slots and modules without user intervention.
- Offset-enabled positioning: Apply pick-up and drop offsets for precise placements and collision avoidance.
- Module and storage integration: Move labware to/from temperature, heater-shaker, and off-deck storage to optimize deck space.
Quick Start
In a protocol, call the gripper to move a plate from C1 to D2 with an optional pick_up_offset of {"x":0,"y":0,"z":2} and drop_offset of {"x":0,"y":0,"z":1} to ensure accurate seating.
