Nonlinear Dynamics has seen its Progenesis Samespots software validated by independent research for DIGE analysis.
The publication of the research by Imperial College London's Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the release of internal validation data by Nonlinear are being promoted ahead of new versions of Progenesis Samespots being released later this year.
The research compared Progenesis Samespots v3.2 with Decyder v6.5 (GE Healthcare) and Dymension 3 (Syngene) quantitatively and subjectively.
It concluded that Progenesis outperformed three commercially available software packages for DIGE analysis in terms of matching accuracy.
The research raised some questions about the quantitative differences observed between the three software packages, which it suggested was due to their different analysis approaches.
To support these findings, Nonlinear has made previously unreleased data available on its website demonstrating the quantitative performance of Progenesis Samespots with both DIGE and single-stained spiked same-same experiments.
'This paper highlighted some differences in quantitation between competing software packages so we released internal data to demonstrate that our approach significantly reduces variation, which means improved quantitative precision,' said Will Dracup, chief executive officer, Nonlinear Dynamics.
Each experiment was analysed automatically with no editing so the results can be reproduced in the lab to assess the technical variation of a system.
