About


The Laboratory Open Protocol Language (LabOP)


What is LabOP?
LabOP is an open specification for laboratory protocols, that solves common interchange problems stemming from variations in scale, labware, instruments, and automation. LabOP was built from the ground-up to support protocol interchange. It provides an extensible library of protocol primitives that capture the control and data flow needed for simple calibration and culturing protocols to industrial control.

Software Ecosystem
LabOP's rich representation underpins an ecosystem of several powerful software tools, including:

  • pylabop: the Python LabOP library, which supports:
    • Programming LabOP protocols in Python,
    • Serialization of LabOP protocols conforming to the PAML RDF specification,
    • Execution in the native LabOP semantics (rooted in the UML activity model),
    • Specialization of protocols to 3rd-party protocol formats (including Autoprotocol, OpenTrons, and human readible formats), and
    • Integration with instruments (including OpenTrons OT2, Echo, and SiLA-based automation).
  • laboped: the web-based LabOP Editor, which supports:
    • Programming LabOP protocols quickly with low-code visual scripts,
    • Storing protocols on the cloud,
    • Exporting protocol specializations for use in other execution frameworks,
