About

We investigated scalable manufacturing strategies for cell-free synthetic biology biosensors by implementing semi-automated assembly using the Opentrons OT-2 platform. Comparing manual and robotic workflows across colorimetric (LacZ) and fluorescent (GFP) assays, we demonstrated reliable 384-well production of fluoride-sensing biosensors with performance comparable to expected detection outcomes.
