  "query": "Compare three original papers published from 2020 through 2024 that measure cellulase activity using carboxymethyl cellulose assays. Extract the assay type, substrate, reported assay conditions, detection method, activity-unit definition and normalization. Cite the methods section or supplement for each row. If details refer to another paper, identify that citation and mark fields unverified until the original method is read. Do not combine activities with incompatible units or supply an assumed standard protocol. Return a protocol evidence table and explain comparability limits, not a recommended experimental procedure.",

Save the returned deepresearch_id. Poll Get status until the task completes, then read the report and download the CSV from deliverables.

How it works

Find original methods papers or studies that report cellulase activity assays. Select a bounded set with accessible methods.

Extract substrate identity, assay type, measurement definition, units and reported conditions. Separate experimental details from values inferred from cited methods.

Group comparable assays and identify differences that prevent pooling. Retain missing conditions as unknown rather than filling in a standard protocol.

To build the workflow inside your own agent, use Search to find sources and Contents to read selected pages. Keep the CSV fields above as your extraction schema.
