Containers

Resources that contain liquid are subclasses of pylabrobot.resources.container.Container. This class provides a pylabrobot.resources.volume_tracker.VolumeTracker that helps pylabrobot.liquid_handling.liquid_handler.LiquidHandler keep track of the liquid in the resource. (For more information on trackers, check out Using trackers). Examples of subclasses of Container are pylabrobot.resources.Well and pylabrobot.resources.trough.Trough.

It is possible to instantiate a Container directly:

from pylabrobot.resources import Container
container = Container(name="container", size_x=10, size_y=10, size_z=10)
# volume is computed by assuming the container is a cuboid, and can be adjusted with the max_volume
# parameter
