Advancing Reproducible Science through Open Source Laboratory Protocols as Software

The project aims to develop a Python-to-Python conversor for LabOP-written Laboratory protocols to be executed by Hamilton Machines using PyHamilton as a the main bridge. The project will benefit scientists by providing open-source protocols for replicating experiments through an open-source software stack. PyHamilton is an open-source Python package that allows its user to control Hamilton liquid handling robots without its native software constraints. The Protocol used as model is a DNA purification protocol and its integration with LabOP came to fruition with the goal of making the protocol as reproducible as possible since the translation process can be done in different ways by different sites using distinct machines.
