AI agent for biochemists
Compound Stock and Dilution Series Agent
Produce correct dilution series and pipetting sheets that stay within solubility and solvent limits
What it does
A dose-response experiment needs eight concentrations from several compounds. One stock is old, one precipitates at the top dose and one dilution step is miscalculated, so the curve looks odd and the experiment is repeated. This agent designs the series carefully. It builds a dilution scheme for each compound, checks solubility limits and stock age, generates pipetting sheets and verifies the final concentration at each point. If a point exceeds solubility, it redesigns the series with a lower top concentration or a different solvent, and recalculates. The scientist approves the sheets before use. Edge case: final DMSO exceeds the cell tolerance. The agent changes the intermediate dilution so the solvent stays constant.
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.
Read the steps as a list
- Experiment planned
- Load compounds, stocks, solubility data and the plate layout
- Check stock age and concentration for each compound
- Design the dilution scheme to reach each target concentration
- Is every point below the solubility limit and the solvent tolerance?If not: Lower the top concentration or change the solvent and redesign. Back to step 4.
- Calculate volumes and generate pipetting sheets
- Do the calculated final concentrations match the targets within 2 percent?If not: Correct the volumes and recalculate. Back to step 4.
- Scientist approves the sheets before useThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Release the sheets and record the stock lots used
- Pipetting sheets and concentration table
How it decides
It chooses a dilution scheme that reaches each target within pipetting limits and keeps solvent constant. Points above solubility are removed or redesigned.
- Stocks older than the stability limit are replaced or re-measured
- Final solvent concentration must not exceed 0.5 percent unless approved
- Pipetting volumes must be at least 2 microliters
- Verify each final concentration against the target
Make it yours
Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.
- Maximum solvent percent (default 0.5)
- Stock stability periods
- Minimum pipetting volume (default 2 microliters)
- Dilution factor
- Plate formats
What keeps you in control
It always asks you first
- Scientist approves the pipetting sheets before use
Hard limits
- Never releases a sheet without approval
- Always shows the calculation for each point
It stops when
- Done: sheets approved and released
- Stop: compound cannot reach target solubility, ask the scientist for options
