pylabrobot.plate_reading.clario_star.CLARIOStar.read_absorbance#

async CLARIOStar.read_absorbance(wavelength: int, report: Literal['OD', 'transmittance'] = 'OD') → List[List[float]]#

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.

Returns:

A 2d array of absorbance values, as transmission percentage (values between 0 and 100).

Return type:

List[List[float]]
