async CLARIOstarBackend.read_absorbance(plate: Plate, wells: List[Well], wavelength: int, report: Literal['OD', 'transmittance'] = 'OD') → List[Dict]#

Read absorbance values from the device.

Parameters:

  • wavelength (int) – wavelength to read absorbance at, in nanometers.

  • report (Literal['OD', 'transmittance']) – whether to report absorbance as optical depth (OD) or transmittance. Transmittance is used interchangeably with “transmission” in the CLARIOStar software and documentation.

  • plate (Plate)

  • wells (List[Well])

Returns:

A list containing a single dictionary, where the key is (wavelength, 0) and the value is another dictionary containing the data, temperature, and time.

Return type:

List[Dict]
