Nonlinear Dynamics Releases Progenesis SameSpots v3.0 – The 2D Analysis Software which Enabled the HUPO Reproducibility Study
NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, England–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, the world leading developer of analysis solutions for proteomics and biomarker discovery, has announced the release of version 3.0 of Progenesis SameSpots, the enabling technology behind the HUPO Reproducibility Study which proved for the first time that quantitative proteomics can be reproduced across-labs. This new version also offers typical analysis times of just 5 mins per image and sets a new benchmark for 2D analysis in terms of speed, objectivity and statistical power.
Progenesis SameSpots has already received an overwhelming response from proteomics researchers. The latest version includes a more complete workflow, flexibility in experimental groupings, statistical tagging tools, a new spot picking workflow and concise reporting.
It is now also possible to add images to an existing analysed experiment which extends the scope of the experimental design and can be useful for clinical proteomics studies where samples are often collected over time. Ease of use is still a key aspect of the software and has been further improved in v3.0 meaning new users can be up, running and generating results in under an hour.
Will Dracup, CEO, Nonlinear Dynamics stated, “Nonlinear are delighted to be involved with the HUPO Reproducibility Study because reproducibility is such an important issue. The study, referred to in a recent Nature Editorial1, proved for the first time that cross-lab reproduction of quantitative proteomics is now possible. We are very proud that the Progenesis SameSpots v3.0 technology helped make this study a success – in fact our scientists were the driving force behind this work. We firmly believe that cross-lab reproducibility is vital to the success of proteomics, whether you are using 2D gels or mass spectrometry and it’s great to see the results of many years of hard work come together in the successful delivery of this groundbreaking study.”
