# Opentrons App v7 Updated Labware Definitions

We have an important update regarding the recent Opentrons app v7 software. An issue with the latest update may cause labware definitions to behave unexpectedly.

We recommend updating your Labware definitions with those in the zip below:

Fresh protocols from Parhelia Stainworks will automatically load the new labware definitions, but to update previously run protocols, you will need to click "Reanalyze".

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to calibrate the labware definition offset the first time you run a new labware or use it in a deck position for the first time.
{% endhint %}

## Labware Offset Calibration

The updated labware do not require the manual 2 mm up offset like the prior labware.

Calibrate to the calibration points as described on the Opentrons App
