Product Extends the Functionality of Progenesis
QI for Proteomics Applications
Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) announced that it will now offer
Proteolabels, a new software that has been designed as an extension
for Progenesis® QI for proteomics users and researchers.
Proteolabels supports studies involving stable isotope labels, such
as “SILAC” and dimethyl labeling in duplex or triplex. Waters® is
offering Proteolabels through an exclusive agreement with Omic
Analytics, an innovative start-up based in Liverpool, UK.
“Waters takes great pride in working with innovative research
groups like Omic Analytics to develop effective solutions to solve
customer needs,” said Dr. Steve Smith, Vice President Informatics
at Waters. “Proteolabels extends the use of Progenesis QI for
proteomics, a need for many of our customers working in health
sciences, along with a growing number in food and environmental
research.”
Proteolabels was engineered with a focus on performance and
usability, empowering scientists to explore their data and achieve
high-quality results. Features include:
- Co-detection: The workflow
builds upon the Progenesis QI for proteomics co-detection feature,
in which features are aligned across LC-MS runs to improve
sensitivity and reproducibility.
- Auto-detect: Proteolabels makes
a first pass through the data to suggest optimal parameters,
simplifying the analysis.
- Peptide scoring: Proteolabels
contains novel metrics for scoring the quality of pairs/triples
detected, enabling users to measure the reliability of quantitation
down to the level of each peptide.
- Intelligent protein inference:
Intelligent weighted averaging of different peptide-level signals
is performed, to give more accurate protein-level quantitation
results.
- QC metrics: Proteolabels
contains a large number of QC metrics and data plotting options,
enabling users to interact and explore their data, and, where
needed, make decisions as to how arrive at the best protein
set.
“At Omic Analytics, we are very excited to be collaborating with
Waters on this new venture. We look forward to seeing Proteolabels
in action with scientists all over the world,” said Prof Andy
Jones, Director of Omic Analytics Ltd, UK.
More information about Proteolabels will be available during a
live webinar on March 28, 2017 at 10:00 am EDT.
