## About

Based in New York, US, and founded in 2014 by co-founders Chiu Chau, Nicholas Wagner, and Will Canine, OpenTrons Labworks Inc. operates as a developer of open-source lab automation robots that help the scientific community share protocols and reproduce each other's results. OpenTrons's subsidiaries include Opentrons Robotics, Pandemic Response Lab (PRL), Neochromosome (Neo), and Zenith AI. Jonathan Brennan-Badal is the CEO of the company as of 2021. In September 2021, the company raised USD 200 million in series C funding led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2.

OpenTrons Labworks is a developer of an integrated lab platform that provides life science and healthcare customers with other products including lab robots, workstations, hardware modules, consumables and reagents, and labware, enabling researchers to decrease human error while running their experiments. The platform unifies the development of lab robotics, assays, and operations to provide industry-specific lab solutions like diagnostic lab services for health systems, lab automation robotics for life science R&D, and genome-scale cell engineering for biopharma.

OpenTrons Labworks plans to further invest in its automated lab platform globally, to support the development of its new robotic tools, an expanded biological foundry, new diagnostic tests, and additional diagnostic labs.
