Opentrons Flex® Absorbance Plate Reader Module The Opentrons Flex Absorbance Plate Reader Module is a fully automated solution for absorbance-based assays. Capable of detecting absorbance in the 450–1000 nm range, it is optimized for a broad array of applications, including protein quantification, sample normalization, cell viability assays, and bacterial growth monitoring.

Engineered for seamless integration with the Opentrons Flex liquid handler, this module facilitates complete walkaway automation, enabling high-throughput data collection with minimal manual intervention. Paired with the Opentrons Flex Gripper, it automates every step from plate transfer to measurement, ensuring consistent and reproducible results. Protein quantification (BCA/Bradford) ELISA Mass spec Cell viability sample prep and growth assays Wide application range: Ideal for protein quantification, normalization, cell viability assays, and bacterial growth monitoring, covering absorbance...

Application case study: Protein quantification and normalization with the Opentrons Flex Absorbance Plate Reader Forty artificial bovine serum albumin (BSA) samples at varying concentrations were created via serial dilution. Protein concentrations from these samples were quantified and normalized in a fully automated workflow on the Opentrons Flex (Fig. 1). Absorbance measurements from the samples and standards were taken (Fig. 2) and protein concentrations were interpolated from a standard curve (Fig. 3). Normalizations were carried out and confirmed by a second measurement using the Plate Reader...
