https://github.com/qPCR4vir/robotevo is an open-source Python framework that generates human-readable protocols and Freedom EVOware scripts for Tecan Freedom EVO platforms (e.g., EVO 75, EVO 100, EVO 200). Its high-level API (via EvoScriPy) is ideal for automating complex lab routines such as RNA extraction with magnet-bead kits (e.g., NucleoMag VET).
The framework was developed by Ariel Vina-Rodriguez and is actively maintained, with updates as recent as June 2024. It is particularly suited for automating workflows on Tecan systems with components like LiHa pipetting arms, RoMa robotic arms, and integrated modules such as shakers and heaters.
For labs looking to integrate Python-based automation into their liquid-handling routines, RoboEvo offers a flexible and open solution grounded in real-world laboratory needs.
