| Abstract: | OT-Mation is an open-source Python script designed to automate the programming of OT-2 liquid-handling robots, making combinatorial experiments more accessible to researchers. By parsing user-defined CSV files containing information on labware, reagents, pipettes, and experimental design, OT-Mation generates a bespoke Python script compatible with the OT-2 system. OT-Mation enhances reproducibility, reduces human error, and streamlines workflows, making it a valuable addition to any laboratory utilizing OT-2 robotics for liquid handling. While OT-Mation can be used for setting up any type of experiment on the OT-2, its real utility lies in making the connection between multifactorial experimental design software outputs (i.e. design of experiments arrays) and liquid-handling robot executable code. As such, OT-Mation helps bridge the gap between code-based flexibility and user-friendly operation, allowing researchers with limited programming skills to design and execute complex experiments efficiently.
