Welcome to the v6.0.0 release of the Opentrons App! This release focuses on a visual redesign of the app that offers more ways to manage protocols even when you're not connected to a robot.

This release also includes updates to the robot operating system, so be sure to update any OT-2s before running protocols with this version of the app.

Technical Change Log

New Features

  • Updated design: A more polished and modern design, built around the new, always-accessible Protocols, Labware, and Devices sections.
  • Protocols section
    • Import multiple protocols and manage them all in one place.
    • In-app protocol analysis lets you import Python and JSON protocol files without connecting to a robot.
    • View deck setup, required hardware, and protocol metadata — before, during, or after a run.
  • Labware section
    • Browse labware definitions from the Opentrons Labware Library right in the app.
    • Import custom labware and manage it alongside standard labware.
  • Devices section
    • New view for currently available and recently connected robots.
    • See recently run protocols on a robot, including those run from other computers.
    • Run a protocol directly from the robot details page.
    • Easily change a robot's name from the new robot settings page.

Improved features

  • Labware Position Check
    • When re-running a protocol, the app will now automatically recommend stored Labware Offset data (from the last 20 runs on that robot) that applies to the same labware and deck slot.
    • When running Labware Position Check, you will see live offset values as you jog the pipette.
