AI agent for laboratory technicians

Cell Line Authentication and Passage Tracking Agent

Keep every line within passage and testing limits and confirmed as the right line

Cell Line Authentication and Passage Tracking Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A lab uses a cell line for three years and nobody tests it, then finds out it was contaminated or switched. Years of work are questioned. This agent tracks each line. It records passage number, mycoplasma test dates and authentication records, flags lines that are due or overdue, and schedules tests. When results arrive, it checks them against the reference profile and quarantines mismatches in the log so they cannot be used. It reminds the owner and tracks the follow-up. The lab manager approves discarding any line. Edge case: the profile partially matches. The agent calculates the match percentage and flags it for review.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A line is due when it exceeds the passage limit or the test interval. A profile match below 80 percent is a mismatch and the line is quarantined.

  • Passage limit for each line is set in the register
  • Mycoplasma testing every 3 months
  • Authentication every 6 months and before publication
  • Match under 80 percent means quarantine

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Passage limits per line
  • Test intervals
  • Reference profile source
  • Reminder recipients
  • Quarantine labeling

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Lab manager approves discarding, retesting or releasing any quarantined line

Hard limits

  • Never discards a line
  • Keeps frozen stocks linked to their records

It stops when

  • Done: all lines in date and verified
  • Stop: contamination is suspected in several lines, alert the lab manager

An example run

What happensThe agent finds 6 lines over 3 months since the last mycoplasma test and one line at passage 41 with a limit of 35. It schedules tests. Results show one line with a 74 percent profile match, so it is quarantined. The lab manager approves retesting from an earlier freeze stock and discarding the current flask.
