pylabrobot

Automate laboratory workflows by controlling liquid handling robots, plate readers, and analytical equipment using Python. It provides a unified interface to manage multi-vendor devices, handling pipetting, sample preparation, and plate reading seamlessly.

Yes, you can write protocols for both Opentrons and Hamilton using the same Python script. The Skill provides a unified Python interface that abstracts hardware-specific commands, enabling seamless multi-vendor lab automation without changing your core logic.

No, physical lab equipment is not strictly required to simulate liquid handling workflows. The Skill supports backend simulation, allowing you to develop, test, and validate Python automation protocols for devices like Hamilton STAR entirely offline.

You automate plate reading and sample preparation together by writing a Python protocol that sequences pipetting, sample transfer, and plate reader commands. The Skill orchestrates these steps across analytical equipment to execute end-to-end laboratory workflows.

The best way to integrate plate readers into a Python lab automation workflow is using a unified interface that supports multi-vendor analytical equipment. You can control plate reading directly alongside liquid handlers to streamline sample preparation and analysis.
