When to use it
Develop and review PyLabRobot lab-automation resources, liquid-handling plans, offline simulations, and supported-device integrations. Use for PyLabRobot protocols or API questions; keep physical execution behind an explicit operator safety gate.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “How do I load a 96-well plate onto a Hamilton STAR deck in PyLabRobot?”
- “I have a manifest.json for a 96-well serial dilution (200 uL tips, 384-well destination plate) that I want to run on our Hamilton Vantage. Can you check the volumes and write the PyLabRobot script? I’m on Windows 11 with Python 3.11. My earlier script failed with ‘ImportError: cannot import name ChatterboxBackend’.”
- “We want our liquid-handling robot to automatically cherry-pick hits from a source plate into a new assay plate overnight with no one around. Can you set it up so it just starts running as soon as the script is launched?”
