“the physical lab has become a bottleneck. Scientists can use frontier models to generate hypotheses and design experiments far faster than laboratories can test them. Opentrons closes that gap with its Opentrons Flex platform, which includes robots and AI systems that enable experiments to be designed, run, and improved in a continuous loop. Considering its deployment of over 11,000 robots to laboratories in over 80”
