The first prototype of the OpenDrop V2 is very promising and the concept with the integrated driver chips and bigger array area were demonstrated. We are now working on producing a small batch to distribute in our research network and continue the research.

Dear Desktop Digital Biology Laboratory,
Hi, hope you are well!
I am a PhD student at Kings College London. I’d like to ask the question about opendrop platform.
Recently I set about using opendrop platform. When the device connect with the computer, the LED1 and LED2 are on. I can hear a sound, but the OLED Display shows nothing.
Could you give me some suggestions about that? Looking forward to hearing from you, thank you.
Kind regards,
Guanzhong
