One hour Covid test protocol using OT-2, plus another open source pipetting robot

Interesting to see the OpenTrons OT-2 mentioned in this 1-hour Covid test protocol:

Bonus, a low-cost open source pipetting robot:

Whoa!

I’m so glad to see so much work going on in OSH pipetting bots :partying_face:

A couple mates and I are also making one from scratch, also with It’s own GUI.

It’s certainly not ready, and documentation is a mess… but here are a couple pics :stuck_out_tongue:

We’d be glad to join efforts with others :slight_smile:

Making these things is really challenging IMO.
