What problem does it solve?

The Opentrons Magnetic Block provides unpowered magnetic separation to immobilize beads in wells, enabling supernatant removal and bead-based workflows on a Flex deck.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unpowered magnetic separation: Move plates onto the block and wait for beads to collect.
  • Bead-based workflows: DNA/RNA purification, SPRI workflows, and immunoprecipitation automation.
  • Flex-only optimization: Designed for gripper-based workflows with fixed magnet positions.

Quick Start

Place a plate on the magnetic block, initiate a 2–5 minute bead separation delay, then remove supernatant via pipetting.
