A method, comprising:
- determining constraints defining an experiment, the experiment comprising a dilution;
- determining an initial graphical computational representation of the experiment based on the constraints;
- optimizing the initial graphical computational representation to determine an optimized graphical computational representation comprising a set of nodes connected by a set of edges, wherein each edge is associated with an experiment operation, wherein each edge is associated with a dilution factor, and wherein each node is associated with a composition for a sample;
- determining instructions for a robot based on the optimized graphical computational representation, wherein the instructions comprise aspiration instructions for the robot determined based on the dilution factors;
- and
- controlling the robot to execute the experiment based on the instructions.
