Opentrons
Intro
Opentrons launched its first robot as part of the Genspace Community Lab iGEM team in 2014. The first day of our Kickstarter was the first day of the Giant Jamboree, and we got a huge boost of support from the iGEM community when we showed off the OT-One. Now, four years later, we could not be more excited to be partnering with iGEM to support 2018 teams with our next generation robot, the OT-2.
iGEM teams that participate in the Interlab Measurement Study are pioneers of reproducible experimentation, setting the replicability bar higher for all types of life science labs, iGEM teams, and synthetic biology professionals. Increasing scientific reproducibility is also part of Opentrons’ core mission. We believe replicating a lab’s experimental results should be as simple as downloading a protocol and hitting run on your robot. This is why an Opentrons & iGEM partnership is such a good fit -- together, we can move towards new standards of reproducibility faster than we ever could alone.
To work towards this goal, our plan is to give 10 iGEM teams the means to automate the protocols done in the InterLab Measurement Study. Armed with the robot and modules necessary to run measurement protocols, iGEM teams will be able to test our thesis that running experiments on a common automation platform improves reproducibility between labs. The data produced from these teams -- as well as the protocols and open-source integrations they make -- will be an important contribution to the broader scientific community and will inform Opentrons product roadmap going forward.
Contest Guidelines
Opentrons is proud to be a supporter of the 2018 iGEM Competition. We are excited to sponsor ten (10) iGEM teams with free OT-2 robots through this competitive challenge.
