Nov 1, 2025November 2025 (Opentrons/opentrons) delivered major IWG workflow enhancements, expanded labware support, and geometry/dispensing reliability improvements that collectively improve automation uptime, data quality, and lab throughput. Key features include Jupyter-accessible IWG results, pipette behavior tuned by tip size and dispense volume, and enhanced transfer capabilities with new labware data; addition of Thermo Fisher Nunc MaxiSorp Lockwell Elisa labware with validated geometry; refactoring of IWG creator/validator to enforce safe frustum calculations and NaN defenses; and a 3-second retract delay with adjusted dispense offsets to improve dispensing accuracy. All work was validated with hands-on testing, labware_def_checker validation, and practical protocol runs across multiple plate types.
