pylabrobot.liquid_handling.liquid_handler.LiquidHandler.use_channels

LiquidHandler.use_channels(channels: List[int])

Temporarily use the specified channels as a default argument to use_channels.

Examples

Use channel index 2 for all liquid handling operations inside the context:

>>> with lh.use_channels([2]):
...   await lh.pick_up_tips(tip_rack["A1"])
...   await lh.aspirate(plate["A1"], 50)
...   await lh.dispense(plate["A1"], 50)

This is equivalent to:

>>> await lh.pick_up_tips(tip_rack["A1"], use_channels=[2])
>>> await lh.aspirate(plate["A1"], 50, use_channels=[2])
>>> await lh.dispense(plate["A1"], 50, use_channels=[2])

Within the context manager, you can override the default channels by specifying the use_channels argument explicitly.

Parameters:

channels (List[int])
