Hardware-agnostic Python liquid-handler library: portable scripts run on Hamilton STAR, Tecan Freedom EVO, Opentrons OT-2, or a simulator without vendor lock-in. For protocol automation, method dev, plate reformatting, serial dilutions, and Python lab workflows.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# pylabrobot ## Overview PyLabRobot is an open-source Python library that abstracts liquid handling robot hardware behind a unified API. Write a protocol once and run it on any supported robot — Hamilton STAR, Tecan Freedom EVO, Opentrons OT-2, or a simulated backend — without changing the protocol code. PyLabRobot handles deck layout, resource management, and aspirate/dispense operations through a clean, async-first interface. ## When to Use - **Writing portable liquid handling protocols**: You want a single Python script that works across Hamilton, Tecan, Opentrons, and a simulator without code changes. - **Developing and testing protocols before robot time**: Use the simulation backend to validate logic, volumes, and deck layouts without occupying physical hardware. - **Automating plate reformatting and cherry-picking**: Transfer specific wells between plates based on upstream data (e.g., hit compounds from a screen). - **Building serial dilution curves**: Systematically aspirate and dispense across a plate with precise volume steps. …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/pylabrobot@sha256:d546a1ac5ddef4acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
