ANALYTICAL AND LABORATORY EQUIPMENT 9


Added features with the latest version include new box plots, line plots and histogram plots. Tese have been developed to help researchers visualise, explore and analyse an even wider range of integrated high- dimensional data sets interactively and in real time. With instant and simultaneous access to an even larger set of multiple plots, enhanced and faster integration and more flexible options for ordering and visualising larger heatmaps that use less memory, researchers are able to improve workflows and spend more time on testing theories and alternative hypothesis.


“It’s excellent to receive such positive feedback for Qlucore Omics Explorer 2.3 so soon after its release. It has been designed by scientists with scientists needs in mind, so we were confident it would be well received, but we’re pleased to hear that it’s already making a significant difference to our customers,” says Carl-Johan Ivarsson, president, Qlucore. “All the new features and enhancements target the same key


objective: to make it simpler and faster for researchers, biologists and scientists to import, analyse and report on their own, and other, data instantly and far more creatively than they could previously with other bioinformatics software (Fig. 2).”


Research project Qlucore started as a collaborative research project at Lund University, Sweden, supported by researchers at the departments of mathematics and clinical genetics, in order to address the vast amount of high-dimensional data generated with microarray gene expression analysis. As a result, it was recognised that an interactive scientific software tool was needed to conceptualise the ideas evolving from the research collaboration.


For its part, Agilent Technologies has entered into a co-marketing agreement with MRM Proteomics, a leading provider of advanced protein quantitation, biomarker and proteomic services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostics industries. Te agreement


will allow both organisations to offer a more complete solution, including kits, hardware and software for proteomics.


“MRM Proteomics is recognised as a pioneer and leading company in the development of mass spec based methods for protein quantification using multiple reaction monitoring,” said Steve Fischer, Agilent marketing manager, metabolomics and proteomics. “Te agreement is a further reflection of Agilent’s continued commitment and investment in quantitative proteomics.”


MRM Proteomics specialises in the highly multiplexed absolute quantitation of proteins in complex biological samples such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid and urine through MRM-MS using isotopically labelled internal standards. MRM Proteomics’ workflows utilise minimal sample volumes (20µl) and according to the company are capable of unparalleled specificity and sensitivity, without


the need for depletion of high- abundance proteins.


Finally, Waters Corporation and Nonlinear Dynamics have entered into an agreement to co-develop a new analytical solution that derives information from complex data sets generated by large-scale proteomics and metabolomics experiments. Te two have already collaborated on the development of the Waters Omics Research Platform with TransOmics informatics, which was launched in May.


“Te complexity of biological samples is so great that the sensitivity and specificity of analytical techniques required for biological discovery presents scientists with significant challenges when it comes to managing experimental data,” said James Langridge, director of pharmaceutical & life sciences discovery, Waters Division. “We believe that through our partnership with Nonlinear Dynamics we can address this situation and advance the pace of discovery.”
