pyalab documentation

Pyalab allows you to use Python to generate programs for Vialab to control an Integra Assist Plus liquid handling robot.

Once generated, the files can be simulated within Vialab and further edited if needed.

The names of plates/pipettes/tips etc. should match the file names in the Integra Lib folder on your hard drive (typically found at C:\Program Files (x86)\INTEGRA Biosciences AG\VIALAB\Integra Lib). These sometimes differ from the display names in Vialab itself.

At the moment, a limited subset of the full functionality of Vialab is implemented, but more is being added each day.

Pyalab can be installed using pip install pyalab.

Pyalab has been tested with Vialab 3.4.0.
