Does PyLabRobot handle analytical equipment?

Absolutely. It integrates with plate readers like the BMG CLARIOstar, Mettler Toledo scales, and various material handling devices like heater shakers and centrifuges.

Can I test my protocols without access to a physical robot?

Yes, the skill includes a ChatterboxBackend for simulation and a 3D visualizer that allows you to verify deck states and liquid transfers in a browser before running on hardware.

What platforms is PyLabRobot compatible with?

As a pure Python library, it is cross-platform and works on Windows, macOS, Linux, and even low-power devices like Raspberry Pi.

How does this skill manage laboratory resources?

It uses a hierarchical system to track the state and position of plates, tip racks, and containers on a deck, including real-time tracking of liquid volumes and tip presence.

Which liquid handling robots does this skill support?

PyLabRobot supports several major hardware backends including Hamilton STAR/STARlet, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO, with the ability to switch backends without rewriting protocols.

データサイエンスとML

Automates laboratory workflows and controls liquid handling robots and analytical equipment through a hardware-agnostic Python interface.

概要

PyLabRobot is a powerful Python SDK that provides a unified interface for building autonomous laboratories. This skill allows Claude to help you program liquid handling robots like Hamilton STAR, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO, as well as integrate analytical devices such as plate readers and heater shakers. It is ideal for scientists and engineers who need to create reproducible laboratory protocols, manage complex deck layouts, and simulate experiments in a 3D environment before executing them on physical hardware.
