(Newcastle upon Tyne, UK) Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd, the world leading
developer of analysis solutions for proteomics, biomarker discovery
and clinical diagnostics, has signed an agreement with UVP, LLC, a global
leader in life science imaging for academic, biopharmaceutical and biotechnology
applications. The agreement covers the promotion and supply of Nonlinear's
SameSpots analysis software through UVP's direct sales force and worldwide
distributor network.
The agreement follows the recent release of the BioSpectrum 800 imaging
system from UVP which is an affordable alternative to the more expensive
and slower 2D laser scanner systems. It has been developed specifically
to support the image capture requirements of 2D gel electrophoresis
and Difference Gel Electrophoresis (DIGE) applications with a high resolution
8.3 megapixel image capture capability.
The SameSpots software provides significant improvements in speed,
objectivity and statistical power. This is making a radical impact on
proteomics research by giving customers both the facility to know how
many biological replicates they need to run and the speed to make it
feasible to run that many replicates - thus allowing scientists to draw
valid conclusions about the biology being studied. It has been adopted
by the leading research groups in proteomics and received widespread
recognition. It will be offered alongside the BioSpectrum 800 system
and to UVP's existing worldwide customer base.
Leighton Smith, CEO of UVP, LLC said, "This new agreement with
Nonlinear marks a significant step forward for UVP in the 2D gel proteomics
market and further strengthens UVP's commitment to offer life scientists
the best possible solution for their imaging and analysis. The combination
of the BioSpectrum 800 with SameSpots offers a fast yet affordable option
for researchers."
Will Dracup, CEO of Nonlinear Dynamics said, "Together, the BioSpectrum
800 and SameSpots solutions offer huge speed improvements, giving scientists
the ability to analyse enough replicates for true statistical power
in only a matter of hours. Running enough replicates is key to generating
robust and reliable data from your proteomics research - so it is great
for Nonlinear to be working with UVP to make this technology accessible
to more scientists."
