Plateo (pronounced Plato, like the planet) is a Python library to assist in the planning, running and checking of laboratory experiments involving microplates.
It can be used to:
- Read and write robotic protocols (picklists) in different formats to accomodate different liquid dispensers (Tecan EVO, Labcyte Echo).
- Simulate liquid dispensing runs, taking into account the capacity and dead volume of each container, to predict the maps of future plates.
- Parse plate data from common laboratory robots (for kinetic experiments, fragment analysis, qPCR, etc.)
- Export plate information in various formats (graphics, spreadsheets, HTML, JSON, etc.).
