Nonlinear Dynamics and LifeGels Ltd (Previously Gradipore Ltd) Enter Progressive Distribution Agreement

(Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) Nonlinear Dynamics, a leading provider of bioinformatics solutions, has today announced a new distribution agreement with LifeGels (formerly Gradipore Ltd, New South Wales, Australia) to supply Nonlinear's evaluation software to LifeGels customers worldwide.

Under the agreement, LifeGels is to distribute evaluation copies of Nonlinear's TotalLab software with all pre-cast gel orders. Users who then upgrade to a full license of TotalLab will receive 4 boxes of LifeGels pre-cast gels at no additional cost.

TotalLab is a highly automated and flexible image analysis software package. It offers an integrated solution for all general image analysis requirements across a wide range of image analysis applications within the Life Science laboratory. Comprehensive modules facilitate 1D electrophoresis gel analysis, array analysis, colony counting and general image analysis, all within an easy to use, 'wizard-style' interface.

Steve Lundberg, President of LifeGels, said, "LifeGels has a history of innovation in electrophoresis with a range of patented products, and we are delighted to have entered this collaboration with Nonlinear. This agreement is based on the evolving customer synergies between Nonlinear and LifeGels clients. By adopting this progressive approach, users will enjoy shared benefits of these quality products. We see this as a new and exciting commercial agreement to bring our products directly to users at the sharp end of Life Science research."

John Spreadbury, Group Sales and Marketing Director of Nonlinear Dynamics and CEO of Nonlinear USA Inc., said, "This agreement represents the latest development in Nonlinear's expanding network of prestigious OEM and commercial partners. Nonlinear adopts a collaborative approach in growing our business globally while maintaining focus on delivering premium analysis solutions responsive to the requirements of leading edge research. We are giving scientists the opportunity to perform a full trial of the TotalLab platform because we are confident that the quality of the software will then speak for itself."
