The department of biology of the University of York has adopted Nonlinear's SameSpots approach as part of its 2D proteomics workflow
The technology facility within the department of biology has licensed TT900 S2S and has upgraded its existing 2D analysis software to Progenesis PG240 to support this new approach.
This purchase represents the latest key sale of products to enable the SameSpots approach following its official release at US Hupo in March.
To date, over ten institutions across Europe and the USA have adopted SameSpots into their 2D workflow.
This impressive uptake by proteomics researchers reflects the significant benefits users can achieve with SameSpots, including 100% matching across all images and no missing values within the 2D data.
Peter Ashton of the technology facility within the department of biology at the University of York said: "Since implementing the SameSpots approach, the changes we have noted in our analysis have been very encouraging.
"The ability to perfectly align images within the experiment before applying SameSpots detection dramatically improves matching performance.
"This enables highly consistent and reliable results to be obtained from all our 2D data sets, even those that previous image analysis packages were unable to accurately quantify".
Will Dracup, group CEO of Nonlinear Dynamics, said: "The University of York has been a valued customer for some years now and we are pleased to continue this relationship with itrs latest purchase.
"The statistical power of the SameSpots approach enables users to instantly enhance their 2D data and overcome many existing gel processing issues to obtain highly objective and accurate image analysis results."
