## Description

This MCP server provides a specialized toolkit for designing precise cell culture media formulations. It allows AI agents to retrieve biological profiles using `get_cell_requirement_profiles`, calculate exact mass requirements with `calculate_nutrient_concentrations`, evaluate osmotic pressure via `calculate_osmolarity`, and stabilize pH levels using `design_buffer_system`. It supports both Serum-Free and Chemically Defined media design for various cell lines.

## Tools

### calculate_nutrient_concentrations
Determines the precise mass/volume concentrations needed to satisfy a growth requirement profile

### calculate_osmolarity
Evaluates the total osmotic pressure of a proposed nutrient formulation

### design_buffer_system
Generates a pH regulation strategy to stabilize the medium

### get_cell_requirement_profiles
Retrieves the standard nutrient and metabolic needs for a specific cell type

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the nutrient requirements for a CHO-K1 cell line?
```

**Response:** 
```
The CHO-K1 cell line requires specific concentrations of glucose, essential amino acids, and trace elements to maintain optimal growth and productivity.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the nutrient concentrations for a 10L scale of Chemically Defined media for HEK293 cells.
```

**Response:** 
```
The required nutrient formulation for a 10L scale includes specific mass amounts of glucose, amino acids, and salts tailored for HEK293 cells in a chemically defined environment.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Check if this nutrient map is within physiological osmolarity limits: {"glucose": 4.5, "sodium_chloride": 7.0}
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated osmolarity is 310 mOsm/kg, which is within the target physiological range of 280-350 mOsm/kg.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What cell types are supported?**
The tool supports standard industrial and research cell lines, such as CHO-K1 and HEK293, through the `get_cell_requirement_profiles` tool.

**Can I design chemically defined media?**
Yes, you can specify 'Chemically Defined' as the media type in `calculate_nutrient_concentrations` to ensure all components are characterized.

**How is pH stability managed?**
You can use `design_buffer_system` to generate a regulation strategy, accounting for metabolic acids like lactate and whether the system is atmospheric or CO2-dependent.
