Genedata and Nonlinear Dynamics co-market solution for high-throughput protein-gel processing
Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, a leading provider of bioinformatics solutions, and Genedata AG, a global provider of computational solutions for drug discovery, announced today that they have entered a co-marketing agreement to promote synergies between their Progenesis and Expressionist solutions. Under the terms of the agreement, Nonlinear and Genedata are collaborating to create a more integrated workflow between these respective systems.
“With this agreement we show our commitment to industrial-scale proteomics research”, explained Adesh Kaul, head of the Expressionist business unit at Genedata AG. The combined solution delivers additional result validation preceding the final MS identification and sample classification stages of the gel-based workflow. Employing supplementary statistical processing to Progenesis 2D gel image analysis data, researchers are able to further corroborate findings and proceed to spot picking with greater confidence. “By automating the exchange of data between Progenesis and Expressionist, we are providing a high-throughput workflow for this otherwise time-consuming and error-prone task.”
John Spreadbury, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Nonlinear Dynamics and CEO of Nonlinear USA Inc., added, “This agreement has been demand led, with shared customers promoting to Genedata and Nonlinear the combined power of this integrated solution. We are always keen to talk to companies with whom we can broker these mutually beneficial arrangements, since it is in the end to the advantage of our customer base. We are looking forward to working with Genedata to help our customers achieve a greater body of statistical data with which to drive their proteomics research.”
