What hardware does PyLabRobot support?

It supports a wide range of hardware including Hamilton STAR/STARlet, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO liquid handlers, along with BMG CLARIOstar plate readers and various pumps, heaters, and shakers.

Is PyLabRobot compatible with macOS and Linux?

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

Can I test protocols without physical hardware?

Yes, PyLabRobot includes a 'ChatterboxBackend' for simulation and a browser-based 3D visualizer to test and validate protocols before running them on physical equipment.

How does it handle tracking for tips and liquid volumes?

The skill manages a hierarchical resource system that automatically tracks tip presence, liquid volumes, and well states throughout the execution of a protocol.

数据科学与机器学习

Automates laboratory workflows and controls hardware like liquid handlers, plate readers, and incubators using a unified Python interface.

关于

PyLabRobot is a hardware-agnostic Python SDK designed for automated and autonomous laboratories. It allows researchers and developers to program liquid handling robots (such as Hamilton, Opentrons, and Tecan), manage deck layouts, and integrate various analytical equipment like plate readers and centrifuges. By providing a standardized interface, it enables the creation of reproducible laboratory protocols that can be simulated in a browser before being deployed to physical hardware, bridging the gap between digital code and physical experimentation.
