Scored across 10 tools
Each tool targets a clearly distinct task: template builders (eln_template, protocol_template), discovery (search/fetch), and specific bench calculators (solution_prep, serial_dilution, pcr_master_mix, lnp_formulation, plate_map) plus a label parser. The descriptions actively disambiguate overlapping-sounding operations (e.g., search explicitly says not to use it for calculations, and solution_prep vs. serial_dilution are scoped to single C1V1 vs. multi-tube series).
All names are lowercase snake_case, which is consistent. There is a minor mix of styles: bare verbs (fetch, search), verb_noun (parse_reagent_label), and noun phrases/compound terms (protocol_template, pcr_master_mix, serial_dilution), but the pattern remains readable and predictable.
Ten tools is well within a reasonable range for a lab toolkit, and each tool covers a distinct function (templates, search/fetch, and five different calculators plus a parser). No tool feels redundant or like padding.
The surface covers template creation, guide/template discovery via search+fetch, and the core bench calculations (solution prep, serial dilution, PCR master mix, LNP formulation, plate mapping). Minor gaps exist—no generic unit converter, reagent inventory management, or explicit way to save/export generated templates—but agents can work around these.
Available Tools
10 toolseln_templateElectronic lab notebook entry templateARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Build an electronic lab notebook (ELN) entry template for an experiment: objective, materials, procedure, observations and conclusion sections from a preset or custom list, optionally with timestamp fields and voice-capture prompts. Returns Markdown and HTML.
Inputs: preset, presetId, sections, sectionItems, +3 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
fetchRead a Verbex guide, template or toolARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Get the full text of a search result by id, as Markdown. Guides come with a short summary; templates include the blank template, a worked example where there is one, and a link to the editable Word or Excel file. Calculators return the method, the input fields and a worked example computed by the calculator.
Inputs: id (required). Returns: id, url, text, title, +1 more
lnp_formulationLNP formulation (lipid nanoparticles)ARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Plan a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulation for RNA: from RNA mass, N/P ratio and lipid mol% (e.g. ionizable lipid/DSPC/cholesterol/PEG-lipid 50/10/38.5/1.5), calculate moles, mass and stock volume of every lipid, the ethanol and aqueous phase volumes at the chosen mixing ratio (default 3:1), and final RNA concentration, ethanol fraction and lipid:RNA ratio. Molecular weights must come from the user or certificates of analysis.
Inputs: lipids, npRatio, rnaMass, rnaMassUnit, +7 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
parse_reagent_labelReagent label parserARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Turn text read from a reagent bottle or kit label (OCR or typed) into structured fields such as product name, catalog number, lot, expiry, concentration and storage. Parses the provided text only; send the label text, not an image.
Inputs: ocrText, ocrConfidence, sourceImageName. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
pcr_master_mixPCR / qPCR master mixARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Use when someone sets up a PCR or qPCR reaction mix for several wells. Calculates volume of each component per reaction and for the whole mix with excess, with water filling the remaining volume. Give each component a stock and final concentration (molar, ng/µL, x buffer, %), an amount per reaction (e.g. 1.25 U polymerase from 5 U/µL, 10 ng template from ng/µL), or a fixed volume. Template can be added per well separately. Do not list water; it is calculated.
Inputs: reactions, components, reactionName, excessPercent, +4 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
plate_mapPlate map (6- to 384-well)ARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Use when someone lays out a multiwell plate (ELISA, qPCR, cell or compound assays). Lays out a 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 or 384-well plate: standards, samples, controls and blanks with replicates, filled by row or column, optionally leaving edge wells empty and keeping replicate sets together. Returns a grid with a key and a well-by-well list.
Inputs: blanks, format, samples, controls, +7 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
protocol_templateLab protocol templateARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Build a structured lab protocol (purpose, materials, procedure, critical steps, acceptance criteria and more) for a protocol title, using a preset or custom sections. Returns Markdown and HTML ready to fill in or print.
Inputs: preset, presetId, sections, sectionItems, +3 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
searchSearch Verbex guides, templates and toolsARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Search Verbex guides and templates: practical guides (protocols and SOPs, lab notebooks, inventory, data integrity and GLP, equipment records, bench calculations) and the 16 lab documentation templates. Returns ids to pass to fetch, with titles and urls to cite. Not for calculations: to compute a mass, volume, dilution, master mix, LNP formulation or plate map, call that calculator directly.
Inputs: query (required), type, limit. Returns: results
serial_dilutionSerial dilution plannerARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Use for any serial dilution (standard curves, titrations, dose series). Plans transfer and diluent volume per tube and the resulting concentration at each step, from a stock concentration, a constant dilution factor, the number of tubes and the final volume per tube.
Inputs: steps, seriesName, volumeUnit, finalVolume, +3 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
solution_prepSolution prep (molarity and C1V1)ARead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Use when someone asks how much solid to weigh for a molar solution (how many grams for X mM in Y mL, making up a buffer or salt solution), or how much stock to dilute to a target concentration (C1V1). mode "solid": mass of solid to weigh from molecular weight, target concentration and final volume. mode "stock": C1V1 = C2V2 dilution from a stock, solving for stockVolume, stockConcentration, targetConcentration or finalVolume. Returns the primary result, a step summary, warnings and safety notes.
Inputs: mode, solvent, solveFor, finalVolume, +9 more. Returns: card, tool, result, humanUrl, +5 more
