Benchling Well Plate Position API is one of 203 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 WellPlatePosition. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, an API reference, authentication docs, rate-limit docs, and a changelog.

Represents a single well within a WellPlate, functioning as a fixed container at a specific grid position. Each WellPlatePosition has coordinates identifying its row and column, can hold sample contents (see ContainerContent), and tracks quantity as a Measurement. Wells can be assigned an ExperimentalRole for assay organization and support freeze/thaw tracking (see FreezeThawInfo) and expiration tracking (see ExpirationInfo) when enabled on the well's ContainerSchema. Unlike containers in a MatrixPlate, WellPlatePositions are permanent parts of the plate structure and cannot be removed or repositioned. Wells are accessed through the parent WellPlate's positions field.
