pylabrobot

What problem does it solve?

This Skill simplifies and standardizes the control of diverse laboratory automation hardware, enabling complex experimental workflows and reproducible research.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hardware Agnostic Control: Programmatically control liquid handlers (Hamilton, Opentrons, Tecan), plate readers, centrifuges, and more through a unified Python interface.
• Resource Management: Define and manage labware, deck layouts, and liquid states for precise automation.
• Simulation & Visualization: Develop, test, and visualize protocols without physical hardware using a built-in simulator and 3D visualizer.
• Use Case: Automate a multi-step sample preparation workflow involving pipetting, incubation on a heater-shaker, and centrifugation, ensuring consistency and reducing manual errors.

Quick Start

Use the pylabrobot skill to pick up tips from a rack and transfer 100 microliters of liquid.
