# Opentrons

Company page: [Opentrons Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opentrons)

> Opentrons Labworks, Inc. (or Opentrons) is a biotechnology company that manufactures liquid handling robots that use open-source software, which at one point used open-source hardware but no longer does.

NB: The [Opentrons Labware Library](https://labware.opentrons.com/) is a wonderful resource to see what Opentrons offers in terms of resources.

We can automatically convert Opentrons resources to PLR resources using two methods in `pylabrobot.resources.opentrons`:

- {func}`pylabrobot.resources.opentrons.load.load_opentrons_resource`: loading from a file
- {func}`pylabrobot.resources.opentrons.load.load_shared_opentrons_resource`: load from https://pypi.org/project/opentrons-shared-data/ (https://github.com/Opentrons/opentrons/tree/edge/shared-data)

In addition, we provide convenience methods for loading many resources (see below).

## Plates

Note that Opentrons definitions typically lack information that is required to make them work on other robots.
