We have a STAR set up with a 405 TS plate washer, but the whole system has recently been updated to VENUS 6 and the libraries supporting the integration have evaporated. I’m new to programming integrations- does anyone have experience integrating this plate washer model with liquid handlers? Are there any existing Hamilton libraries that can support this integration out of the box, or do I have to buy Biotek’s LHC software and somehow control the washer via an executable from within VENUS? Any help appreciated!

That thread might be interesting for you: Biotek EL406 Washer - dev discussion - PyLabRobot Forums . I have not worked on the announced 405TS integration into PLR since. I have also never integrated the 405 into a liquidhandler but into our new robotic platform. Currently we are using a rather hacky way there to control it directly via serial interface from python. That saves me from using windows or any 32bit programs. If you go with LHC this solution might be interesting for you: robotlab/labrobots at main · pharmbio/robotlab · GitHub (Have your favorite AI summarize the LHC part for you) Thats the currently running on another platform here.
