Opentrons Protocol Designer Changes in 8.4.0

Welcome to Protocol Designer 8.4.0!

This release adds support for the Absorbance Plate Reader Module and includes feature improvements and bug fixes.

Bug Fixes

  • Move steps added to a Flex protocol now use the gripper by default.
  • Use matching X and Y offset values to aspirate and dispense during a Mix step.

All protocols created in Protocol Designer now require version 8.2.0 or higher of the Opentrons App to run.

New Features

Absorbance Plate Reader Module GEN1

You can add an Absorbance Plate Reader Module GEN1 to deck slots A3-D3 on the Flex. You'll also need to use a gripper to safely move the lid on and off the module.

To use the Absorbance Plate Reader Module in your Protocol Designer protocol, add the following steps:

  • an Absorbance Plate Reader step to close the lid using the gripper
  • an Absorbance Plate Reader step to initialize the module without labware inside. Choose from a single or multiple wavelengths.
  • an Absorbance Plate Reader step to open the lid using the gripper
  • a Move step to place a plate in the module. Using the gripper is optional.
  • an Absorbance Plate Reader step to read the plate using the same wavelength choices.

Data from the Absorbance Plate Reader Module is exported as a .CSV file and can be found on your Flex's detail page in the Opentrons Desktop App. Repeat the steps shown above to open the lid and remove the plate.
