Appearance
Scope and Limitations
Version 0.1.1 is an experimental source preview for one station, one worker and fixed configuration. Its primary instrument validation uses official Opentrons OT-2/Flex simulation. It is not real-instrument acceptance.
| Area | Integrated restricted profiles | Outside this preview |
|---|---|---|
| Transfer | Volume transfer, typed wells/groups, restricted eight-channel columns and plates | Arbitrary containers, general mass conversion and arbitrary liquid methods |
| Environment | Temperature holds/incubation, thermocycler lid handling, heater-shaker temperature | General nested environments, thermal_program, CO2/humidity, simultaneous heating and shaking |
| Agitation | Orbital shaking; optional third-party plate-centrifuge protocol simulation | Vortex, invert, flick, stir, rotation and linear/rock shaking |
| Separation | Restricted magnetic separation, Flex magnetic block, in-place centrifugation intents | Filtration, disruption, temperature-controlled centrifugation and physical HiG acceptance |
| Fractionation | Reserved | Density gradients, chromatography and fraction collection |
| Readout | Reserved MeasurementSystem | Instrument acquisition, scientific result processing and measured-model correction |
Whole-plate movement is supported only by integrated device profiles and configured docks. Language support alone does not make every physical arrangement executable. Hamilton has an independent driver; its physical OS chain is not accepted by this preview.
Persistent Execution
The implemented path includes a durable queue, whole-run reservations, evidence/material registration, station positions and consumables, checkpoint recovery and finalization. Confirmed actions are not blindly replayed; uncertain effects retain isolation.
GUI, general manual reconciliation, asynchronous device-task supervision, parallel device execution and shared physical reagent inventory are deferred. Per-run material inputs remain independent simulations; there is no global authoritative physical reagent inventory.
Distribution and License
The OS is Apache-2.0. Language and driver packages are distributed independently; their metadata and notices apply separately. Compatible dependency snapshots are supplied with the OS release. PyPI publication is deferred; software archival and citation metadata accompany this public release. No GitHub Actions workflows are used for testing, building or publishing.
The exact source boundary and supported profiles are recorded in the OS capability map and release.
