This week, ahead of SynBioBeta’s 2023 annual conference, Opentrons CEO Jonathan Brennan-Badal announced the launch of their second robot, The Flex Robot.
Many companies have already seen a significant weight lifted off their shoulders by integrating Opentrons technology, including DNA-synthesis company Molecular Assemblies. Michael J. Kamdar, the company’s President and CEO, describes that Opentrons has allowed Molecular Assemblies “to run experiments literally around the clock” and that Opentrons technology has been a “key tool” in the rapid development of Molecular Assemblies technology.
The true impact of Opentrons technology became abundantly clear during the pandemic when Opentrons was tasked with expanding New York City’s rapid COVID-19 testing abilities. Accepting the challenge, Opentrons identified the best in-breed processes for COVID-19 testing by surveying its customers that were already using OT-2 for COVID-19. Setting up a lab of 40 OT-2 robots, Opentrons tested over 15 million people across the New York metro area, the majority of all COVID tests run for the city.
Venture capitalist Vinod Khosla has played a crucial role in Opentrons' early success, serving on the company's board and sharing a vision of an open-source ecosystem akin to Amazon'sAWS ecosystem.
In a world where time is of the essence, Opentrons stands as a beacon of progress, offering scientists the tools they need to unlock new discoveries and accelerate innovation. With their exceptional technology, commitment to affordability, and unwavering support for scientists, Opentrons is shaping the future of lab automation and paving the way for groundbreaking breakthroughs that will benefit society as a whole.for additional research and reporting on this article.
