1. A system, comprising:
a user interface configured to receive experiment constraints;
a processor configured to:
determine an initial graphical computational representation of the experiment based on the experiment constraints;
optimize 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 node is associated with a composition for a sample; and
determine software instructions based on the optimized graphical computational representation;
a container carrier comprising physical containers, wherein each node is mapped to a physical container on the container carrier; and
a liquid-handling robot system configured to execute the software instructions, wherein the executing the software instructions comprises, for each node: manufacturing the associated sample with a composition matching the associated sample composition, wherein the associated sample is located within the respective physical container.
