Opentrons’ Robot-Assisted Solutions for Biotech Scientists


Focused on opportunities nationwide, SP Investment Fund undertakes the acquisition, financing, and rehabilitation of government subsidized apartment complexes. SP Investment Fund has also taken equity positions in several innovative startups involving biotech and health sciences that will contribute to society. 

In 2016 the company invested in Opentrons, which creates robots designed to enable collaboration among scientists in ways that produce repeatable results. Functions of the personal pipetting robots include automating repetitive, common workflows involving sample distributions and normalized concentrations across a plate. In addition, multiple plates can be filled and mapped within a matter of minutes. 

The protocol-automating functions of Opentrons’ products are used within laboratories spanning 30 countries. For example, at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Blais Proteomics Center, Opentrons’ OT-One is employed in preparing samples for mass spectrometry. The recently introduced OT-One S is twice as fast as its predecessor and can fill a 96-well plate within a minute and a half.
