ProMeta Interfaculty Centre for Proteomics and Metabolomics has selected Proteus as the lab and scientific data management solution for its proteomics and metabolomics research

The ProMeta Centre specialises in providing mass spectrometry and chromatography-based technology services (such as Maldi-Tof/Tof-MS, 2D LC-MS, and FT-MS), complemented by its capability of handling gel-based proteomics samples, to proteomics and metabolomics researchers Proteus will provide benefits to ProMeta including increased automation of instruments and data integration with downstream search engine processes such as Sequest and Mascot, resulting in more efficient provision of services to ProMeta's academic and industry clients

ProMeta expects to realise a decrease in turnaround time, thus increasing profitability by implementing Proteus at the centre.

Professor Etienne Waelkens, leader of the ProMeta initiative, appreciated GenoLogics's commitment to the rapidly evolving fields of proteomics and metabolomics.

Waelkens stated, "GenoLogics's knowledge of our industry, and their flexibility and independence from instrument vendors, which lets us choose the best equipment and instruments, influenced our decision to choose Proteus.

"When we were considering solution providers, GenoLogics was set apart by its commitment to partnership and collaboration.

"We are pleased that GenoLogics will be partnering with us to evaluate the commercial merits of using Proteus in ancillary applications such as Maldi imaging, which is currently being explored by our researchers".

GenoLogics is committed to developing a long-term partnership with ProMeta and supporting its mandate of being a centre of excellence for mass spectrometry.
