Ludesi has announced that its founder and chief executive officer, Ola Forsstrom-Olsson has lectured at the Bio-Trac Biotechnology Training Courses at the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Forsstrom-Olsson presented information on the subject of 'Improving the discovery potential in 2D gel image analysis by introducing and applying image analysis quality metrics' during Trac 25: Proteomics: Principles and Methods.
Forsstrom-Olsson is a frequent speaker at NIH Bio-Trac courses and at other medical industry events and symposiums.
His presentations include latest results from the industry's largest real-world studies of 2D gel electrophoresis experiments.
Among all the proteomics technologies, 2D gel electrophoresis is the most commonly used technique for protein separation.
Forsstrom-Olsson said: 'There is a common misconception in 2D gel image analysis that reproducibility and low variation are the keys to reliable results.
'However, reproducibility is only interesting if the data is correct and complete in the first place.
'Consequently, by using relevant quality metrics for the image analysis, proteomics scientists using 2D gels may start tapping into the true potential of the technology.'
