Opentrons Temperature Module - precise heating and cooling (4-95°C) for sample storage, enzyme reactions, and temperature-sensitive protocols with aluminum block adapters for plates, tubes, and PCR strips.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Opentrons Temperature Module ## Overview The **Opentrons Temperature Module** provides precise temperature control (4-95°C) for maintaining samples at specific temperatures during automated protocols. Ideal for keeping reagents cold, pre-warming reaction components, temperature-sensitive incubations, and any workflow requiring stable thermal conditions without mixing. **Core value:** Eliminate ice buckets and water baths. Maintain precise, reproducible temperatures on-deck for reagents, samples, and reaction components throughout your protocol. ## When to Use Use the Temperature Module skill when: - Keeping reagents cold during protocol (e.g., enzymes at 4°C) - Pre-warming reaction components (e.g., buffers at 37°C) - Maintaining samples at specific temperatures - Temperature-sensitive enzyme reactions without mixing - Cooling samples after thermal processing - Any protocol requiring stable temperature control (4-95°C) **Don't use when:** - Need mixing/shaking during temperature control (use Heater-Shaker Module) - Require PCR thermal cycling (use Thermocycler Module) - Temperature outside 4-95°C range - Precise temperature ramping or cycling needed ## Quick Reference …

How to install
mdr add jkitchin/knowhow/opentrons-temperature-module@sha256:ed23351651d5cfb1The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251129.b0f1718, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
