Ludesi has announced the launch of Ludesi Basic, a lightweight version of the company's 2D gel image analysis service.
With the introduction of the new offering, Ludesi's premier 2D gel image analysis service has been renamed Ludesi Pro.
Ludesi Basic is easy to learn, easy to use, and offers a fast turnaround time.
It is specifically designed to meet the needs and requirements of research groups that need a high discovery potential, but who have budget restrictions that limit their use of the Ludesi Pro offering.
Ludesi Basic is also good for certain proteomics experiments where the extensive data quality control of Ludesi Pro might not be fully needed.
The proteomics industry worldwide is currently at a stage where it is imperative that researchers be able to get reliable data quality from their experiments.
One aspect of this is to establish relevant and functional metrics for data quality that can be used throughout the field.
Ludesi is in the process of introducing these metrics.
Another important factor to the industry is to make the best analysis technologies affordable to a greater number of researchers.
This is the goal for Ludesi Basic.
Ludesi's 2D gel image analysis technology has been shown to reduce error rate and increase the number of true findings compared to other 2D gel image analysis software.
On average Ludesi's image analysis has been shown to give a four-fold increase in number of true findings, and a 40 per cent decrease in error rate.
