Resource Library#
The PyLabRobot Resource Library (PLR-RL) is PyLabRobot’s open-source, crowd-sourced collection of labware. Laboratories across the world use an almost infinite number of different resources/labware. We believe the way to most efficient capture the largest portion of this resource superset is via crowd-sourcing, and peer-reviewing new entries. If you cannot find something, please contribute what you are looking for!
Resource subclasses#
In PLR every physical object is a subclass of the Resource superclass (except for Tip).
Each subclass adds unique methods or attributes to represent its unique physical specifications and behavior.
PLR’s Resource subclasses in the inheritance tree are:
