Make pixel plate art using the Protocol Designer

[kristinellis]

Overview

Our team recently launched the Open Beta of the Opentrons Protocol Designer, our easy-to-use, point-and-click graphical user interface for creating protocols on the OT-2! 🎉

This is a great place to get started learning about the features and usability of our platform. No coding experience needed - you can use the designer's options to create pixel plate art, like Anna at Single Cell Discoveries! 👇

Instructions

• Make sure you have the Google Chrome browser downloaded on your computer.
• Visit the Protocol Designer page on our website to sign up.
• Check your email for the magic link to confirm your enrollment in the Open Beta.
• Access the Protocol Designer through your browser and start making your pixel plate art!

If you want us to run your protocol in-house and send you a video of it:

• Use a p300 single channel on the left mount with a p300 tiprack
• Select the 12-row trough as your starting location for your liquids.
• Select the 96 well flat or 384 well plates for your transfer steps.
• When you're done, export the file with your name as YourName.json and attach it to a comment on this issue!

Have fun!!!
