pylabrobot.resources package#

Resources represent on-deck liquid handling equipment, including tip racks, plates and carriers. Many resources defined in the VENUS and Opentrons labware libraries are also defined in this package. In addition, by (optionally subclassing and) instantiating the appropriate classes, you can define your own resources.

`Carrier`	Base class for all carriers.
`Container`	A container is an abstract base class for a resource that can hold liquid.
`Coordinate`	Represents coordinates.
`Deck`	Base class for liquid handler decks.
`ItemizedResource`	Base class for Itemized resources.
`utils.create_equally_spaced_2d`	Make equally spaced resources in a 2D grid.
`Lid`	Lid for plates.
`Liquid`	A type of liquid (eg water, ethanol, etc.).
`PetriDish`	A petri dish
`Plate`	Base class for Plate resources.
`PlateCarrier`	Base class for plate carriers.
`Resource`	Base class for deck resources.
`ResourceStack`	ResourceStack represent a group of resources that are stacked together and act as a single unit.
`Rotation`	Represents a 3D rotation.
`tip.Tip`	A single tip.
`TipCarrier`	Base class for tip carriers.
`TipRack`	Tip rack for disposable tips.
`Trough`	A trough is a container, particularly useful for multichannel liquid handling operations.
`Tube`	Tube container, like Eppendorf tubes.
`TubeCarrier`	Base class for tube/sample carriers.
`TubeRack`	Tube rack resource.
`Well`	Base class for Well resources.
