Multi-device laboratory automation is coordinated through a single Python API that uses backend abstractions to control liquid handlers, plate readers, and incubators simultaneously. This enables cross-vendor protocol development and asynchronous operations across diverse equipment.
Protocol simulation is supported natively for validating complex lab automation workflows before physical execution. The system tracks resource states and deck configurations to ensure reproducible experiments and safe, scalable operation across multi-device setups.
Hamilton STAR and Opentrons OT-2 robots are both supported through vendor-agnostic backend abstractions. You can develop protocols once and execute them across different liquid handling hardware without rewriting your Python code.
Deck and resource management is handled through built-in state tracking features that maintain reproducible deck layouts across runs. This ensures consistent resource positioning and sample tracking during multi-device laboratory automation workflows.
To start liquid transfer protocols, install the package, initialize a STAR backend with a STARLetDeck, and execute tip transfers using Python commands. The unified API abstracts hardware-specific commands into simple method calls.
Vendor-agnostic lab automation interfaces require backend abstractions for each supported device, meaning highly specialized or proprietary equipment functions may lack coverage. Complex workflows rely on asynchronous operations and optional visualization to mitigate edge-case execution risks.
