Does it track tip usage and liquid volumes?

Yes, PyLabRobot provides built-in state management to automatically track tip presence and liquid volumes across your entire deck layout.

What types of labware can I manage with this skill?

You can manage a wide range of resources including multi-well plates, tip racks, troughs, tubes, carriers, and custom labware configurations.

Is PyLabRobot compatible with different operating systems?

Yes, it is a pure Python SDK that works across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi platforms.

Can I test my protocols without physical hardware?

Yes, the skill includes simulation capabilities and a browser-based visualizer to validate protocols and deck states before running them on physical robots.

Which robots are supported by the PyLabRobot skill?

It supports major liquid handlers including Hamilton STAR/STARlet, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO, plus various analytical equipment like the BMG CLARIOstar.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates laboratory workflows and hardware control using the PyLabRobot Python SDK for liquid handling and analytical equipment.

PyLabRobot is a hardware-agnostic, pure Python toolkit designed for automated and autonomous laboratories. This skill enables Claude to program liquid handling robots (like Hamilton STAR, Opentrons OT-2, and Tecan EVO), manage complex deck layouts, integrate analytical equipment such as plate readers, and simulate protocols before physical execution. It is ideal for researchers and automation engineers looking to create reproducible, platform-independent laboratory protocols with high-level state management and device integration.
