Quantify protein purity and recovery efficiency across purification steps.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides a specialized calculation engine for biochemical researchers to track protein purification progress. It allows AI agents to calculate essential metrics such as specific activity, yield percentage, and purification factor. Researchers can use calculate_step_metrics to evaluate individual steps, compare_purification_stages to assess transitions between stages, and getMethodEfficiencyThresholds to compare experimental results against theoretical standards for methods like affinity or ion exchange. Additionally, validate_purification_log helps identify experimental anomalies in a sequence of purification steps.

calculate_step_metrics

Calculates the essential purity and recovery metrics for a single purification step

validate_purification_log

Checks a sequence of purification steps for logical consistency

compare_purification_stages

Compares two different stages of a purification process

get_method_efficiency_thresholds

Provides expected yield and purification factor ranges for a specific purification method

Calculate the metrics for a step with 5mg total protein, 100 units of activity, and 10ml volume, given a baseline of 500 units activity and 10mg protein.

The specific activity is 10 U/mg, the yield is 20%, and the purification factor is 2.0.

What are the expected yield and fold ranges for affinity chromatography?

For affinity chromatography, the expected yield range is typically 40-80% and the expected fold range is 10-100x.

Compare a starting stage with 5 U/mg specific activity and 100% yield to a final stage with 50 U/mg specific activity and 70% yield.

The transition shows a 10-fold increase in specific activity, a 30% yield loss, and a purity improvement of 45 U/mg.

You can use the `calculate_step_metrics` tool. Provide the current step's protein and activity data along with the baseline values to receive the purification factor.
