BioAnalyte signs deal with Software4labs to represent products in Europe
January 2008. Portland, ME. BioAnalyte announced today that it has signed an agreement with the UK- based software distributor Software4labs to distribute BioAnalyte's mass spectrometry based software applications ProTrawler and Regatta in the European market.
"BioAnalyte's ProTrawler and Regatta applications are best-in-class for label-free quantitation for LCMS mass spectrometry, and we are happy to represent them," said Frank Smith, managing partner of Software4labs.
Software4labs also represents Portland, Oregon-based Proteome Software, makers of Scaffold, the popular proteomics package that reconciles database sequence searches.
"BioAnalyte's applications enhance bottom-up proteomics by showing the statistical significance of potential biomarkers," said Kevin Jones, co-founder of Software4labs. "ProTrawler and Regatta more than just complement bottom-up proteomics; they give sequence ID quantitative meaning."
LCMS analysis lies at the heart of proteomics, but it is also useful in metabolomics for biomarker discovery. ProTrawler and Regatta are metabolomics-ready, as most of the existing mass spectrometry products are not," Jones added.
"We are delighted to have a formal presence in the European market, where we have seen substantial growth in sales interest over the passed year," said Peter Leopold, president of BioAnalyte Inc.
