PyLabRobot

Acerca de

PyLabRobot is a powerful, hardware-agnostic SDK that enables the automation of laboratory workflows using Python. It provides a standardized way to control liquid handling robots like Hamilton STAR and Opentrons OT-2, along with analytical devices such as plate readers and heater shakers. With built-in support for resource tracking, deck layout management, and real-time 3D simulation, it allows scientists to develop and test reproducible protocols in a virtual environment before executing them on physical hardware, ensuring accuracy across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms.

Características Principales

• Hardware-agnostic control for Hamilton, Opentrons, and Tecan liquid handlers
• Unified API for managing complex pipetting, serial dilutions, and material handling
• Integration of analytical equipment including plate readers, scales, and incubators
• 16 GitHub stars
• Automated tracking of tips, liquid volumes, and deck resource states
• Real-time 3D visualization and simulation of protocols without physical hardware

Casos de Uso

• Simulating laboratory workflows to prevent hardware collisions and protocol errors
• Developing reproducible automated liquid handling and sample preparation protocols
• Orchestrating autonomous laboratories by integrating multiple instruments into a single script
