mgi-prepall 0.0.1

Python SDK for compiling protocols for the MGI PrepALL workstation.

mgi_prepall Protocol API

mgi_prepall is a Python SDK that compiles a lab procedure (liquid handling, module control, gripper moves) into a ProtocolDefinition JSON for the PrepALL workstation.

A minimal protocol script:

from mgi_prepall import Context

metadata = {
    "protocolName": "hello",
    "author": "me",
    "description": "",
}

def run(ctx: Context) -> None:
    ctx.init(
        lane1="plateRack", lane2="plateRack",
        lane3="plateRack", lane4="trashAndPCR",
        useTrashBin=True, trashBinType="B",
    )
    pipette = ctx.load_pipette("p1000_flex8")
    tips = ctx.load_labware("mgi_prepall_plate_carrier_low_adapter", "1-1") \
              .load_labware("mgi_96_filtertiprack_200ul", code="T1")
    src  = ctx.load_labware("mgi_prepall_plate_carrier_low_adapter", "1-2") \
              .load_labware("mgi_96_well_plate", code="P1")
    dst  = ctx.load_labware("mgi_prepall_plate_carrier_low_adapter", "1-3") \
              .load_labware("mgi_96_well_plate", code="P2")

    pipette.transfer(50.0, (src, "A1"), (dst, "A1"), tiprack=tips)

Compile to JSON:

python -m mgi_prepall my_protocol.py -o my_protocol.json
