+Plateo
+======
+
+Plateo (pronounced *Plato*, like the planet) is a Python library to assist in the
+planning, running and checking of laboratory experiments involving microplates.
+
+It can be used to:
+
+- Read and write robotic protocols (picklists) in different formats to
+  accomodate different liquid dispensers (Tecan EVO, Labcyte Echo).
+- Simulate liquid dispensing runs, taking into account the capacity and dead
+  volume of each container, to predict the maps of future plates.
+- Parse plate data from common laboratory robots (for kinetic experiments,
+  fragment analysis, qPCR, etc.)
+- Export plate information in various formats (graphics, spreadsheets, HTML,
+  JSON, etc.).
+
