Benchling Plate Record API is one of 219 APIs that [Benchling](https://apis.io/providers/benchling/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include PlateRecord. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

A plate design or record used for designing, tracking, and analyzing experimental plates outside of the inventory. Plate records are the working surface for plate-based workflows: you build up a plate's layout (well roles, contents, concentrations, metadata, measurements) through one or more creates and updates, then optionally convert it to a persistent inventory plate via the `bulk-put-in-inventory` endpoint. Each layer of data (label, content, concentration, metadata, measurements, etc.) is accessible via its `dataFrame`. These endpoints are not generally available and may fail depending on your tenant configuration.
