AI agent for biochemists
Protein Purification Run Review Agent
Purification runs that meet yield and purity targets
What it does
Each protein purification produces chromatograms, gel images and concentration readings, and judging a run by eye is slow and uneven. After each run, this agent reads these results and calculates yield and purity. It compares them with the targets and with past runs of the same protein. It looks at peak shapes for signs of aggregation and at the gel for contaminant bands. If yield or purity falls below target, it suggests a next step drawn from past runs that worked, such as an extra column or a changed buffer, and explains why. It writes a run summary. The biochemist decides what to do next; the agent only advises. Each run is logged so trends across batches are visible. Edge case: a peak that elutes earlier than usual is flagged as possible aggregation, even when yield looks fine.
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
- Purification run finished
- Read chromatograms and gel images
- Calculate yield and purity
- Do yield and purity meet targets?If not: suggest next steps from past runs. Back to step 3.
- Write run summary
- Biochemist decides next stepThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Run logged
How it decides
It compares yield and purity with targets and past runs and suggests next steps from what worked before.
- Flag early-eluting peaks
- Compare with past runs
- Suggest steps that worked before
