SUMMARY

What it does

This skill enables an agent to guide users through submitting and managing protocols on Ginkgo Bioworks Cloud Lab (cloud.ginkgo.bio), a web-based platform for autonomous lab execution on Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). It covers protocol selection, input preparation, pricing, and ordering workflows for a range of services including protein expression and purification (cell-free, E. coli, or Pichia), quantification methods (HiBiT, A280, LabChip), IVT mRNA/circRNA synthesis, thermal shift/developability assays, Echo-MS enzyme or analyte methods, SPR target onboarding, and fluorescent pixel art generation. The skill provides an overview of available protocols, their readouts, prices, turnaround times, and statuses, as well as guidance on choosing the right protocol and the general ordering workflow. It also mentions authentication requirements and key infrastructure details.
