Category & Scope

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown

Biorobotics Tools (6)

fetch_genomic_data

Queries live sequence parameters from the UniProt REST API, with a local fallback for offline or rate-limited conditions.

resolve_biotech_spatial_intent

Translates assay parameters (concentration, plate scale) into immutable spatial metrics in SI base units.

map_plate_coordinate

Translates alphanumeric well IDs (e.g. `A1`–`H12`) into exact millimeter offsets, per SLAS/SBS 96-well plate standards.

calculate_pipetting_speed

Calibrates G-code feedrate and pressure delay from reagent viscosity and target volume.

calculate_dna_melting_temp

Calculates GC-content and melting temperature (Tm) of a DNA sequence for thermal deck configuration.
