The software is now localised into Chinese and Japanese, features a single walk-up sample entry screen and offers updated workstation compliance
It provides a large number of statistical algorithms to compare the abundant information obtained from biomarker profiling workflows using time-of-flight (Tof), quadrupole Tof and QQQ MS systems.
Researchers can easily import, analyse and visualise gas chromatography/mass spectrometer and LC/MS data from large sample sets and complex experimental designs.
Using a comprehensive array of powerful statistical analyses, GeneSpring MS can profile proteins or small molecules associated with changes in cellular function, enabling the rapid discovery of biomarkers that may potentially detect disease or drug toxicity.
Traditional biomarker discovery techniques often ignore thousands of potentially valuable peaks because it is not feasible to identify all of them using time-consuming procedures such as MS/MS (a method for structure determination and analysis of molecules traditionally using two mass spectrometers in tandem).
GeneSpring MS 1.1 allows users to screen vastly larger numbers of potentially interesting biomarkers before they are identified.
This more powerful workflow is made simple using a graphical and intuitive analysis tool, simplifying the biomarker discovery workflow.
