Pipettes¶
Opentrons pipettes are configurable devices used to move liquids throughout the working area during the execution of protocols. Flex and OT-2 each have their own pipettes, which are available for use in the Python API.
Pages in this section of the documentation cover:
Loading pipettes into your protocol.
Pipette characteristics, such as how fast they can move liquid and how they move around the deck.
Partial tip pickup configurations for multi-channel pipettes. Full and partial tip pickup configurations can be combined in a single protocol.
The volume modes of Flex 50 µL pipettes, which must operate in low-volume mode to accurately dispense very small volumes of liquid.
