When to Use

• You need to build a structured inventory of reagents/antibodies/consumables from a paper's Materials and Methods section.
• A document includes a Key Resources Table and you want to convert it into clean CSV outputs.
• You want to extract instrument/equipment details (brand + model) from methods text or tables.
• You need to capture software and versions mentioned in methods (e.g., analysis pipelines, imaging software).
• You want to standardize reagent preparation instructions (buffers/solutions, concentrations, temperatures, steps) into a table.

Key Features

• Accepts PDF-derived Markdown/text as primary input; falls back to PDF text extraction when needed.
