Can I track liquid volumes during a protocol?

Yes, PyLabRobot features automated volume tracking and state management for all resources (wells, troughs, tips) on the deck.

Which liquid handling robots are supported?

PyLabRobot currently supports Hamilton STAR/STARlet, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO, with an extensible architecture for adding new backends.

Does PyLabRobot require physical hardware to work?

No, it includes a ChatterboxBackend and a browser-based visualizer for simulating protocols and testing logic without any physical equipment.

Is it compatible with multiple operating systems?

Yes, as a pure Python SDK, it is platform-independent and works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi.

How do I visualize my deck layout?

You can use the built-in Browser Visualizer to see a real-time 3D representation of your deck state and robot operations during simulation or execution.

Automates laboratory workflows and controls liquid handling robots, plate readers, and analytical equipment through a unified Python interface.

Acerca de

PyLabRobot is a hardware-agnostic, pure Python SDK designed for building automated and autonomous laboratories. This skill enables Claude to program liquid handling robots like Hamilton STAR, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO, while managing complex deck layouts and integrating diverse laboratory equipment such as heater shakers and centrifuges. It is an essential tool for researchers and automation engineers who need to create reproducible, platform-independent laboratory protocols with robust simulation and state-tracking capabilities.
