Nonlinear Dynamics has released version 3.0 of Progenesis SameSpots, the technology behind the Hupo Reproducibility Study which proved that quantitative proteomics can be reproduced across labs
This new version also offers typical analysis times of just five minutes 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 of Nonlinear Dynamics, stated: "Nonlinear is delighted to be involved with the Hupo Reproducibility Study because reproducibility is such an important issue.
"The study, referred to in a recent Nature Editorial, 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."
