What is the advantage of the Ludesi image analysis service?
One of the main advantages with choosing either the Ludesi Pro or Basic analysis service is that you save a lot time and are able to de-bottleneck your 2D gel based proteomics work.
Depending on if you choose Basic or Pro the Ludesi Analysis Center will do all or part of the often tedious image analysis work for you. This frees you up to focus on the actual research you are doing instead of the informatics.
In addition, you will receive industry-leading data quality for your 2D gel projects. By having a specialized Analysis Center where many analysts work together on the same project, we have been able to develop technologies that significantly out-perform the data quality produced by conventional software. The software used in the Analysis Center has been optimized for performance and accuracy, as no compromise needs to be made with regards to ease-of-use and analysis speed. The unique approach of having a team of analysts working simultaneously on your project also removes the issue of subjectivity that is normally present whith a one software - one person setup.
For very important projects we recommend using our Ludesi Pro service where a large amount of time is specifically invested in optimizing data quality. Here the strict protocols used in the Ludesi Analysis Center have been extended to incorporate Combined Correctness metrics. These insure that we work on your data until a minimum level of spot detection and matching correctness has been achieved. An extensive comparison with other market leading software has shown that this approach considerably improves the discovery potential in 2D gel image analysis data.
Ludesi's unique software architecture also means that you can access your data from any computer, anywhere in the world. Your data is automatically backed up to secure servers so you never run the risk of pressing the wrong button and losing all your work. And maybe best of all, you are able to share Ludesi analyzed experiments and collaborate on them with colleagues worldwide, for free. Think Google Docs, but for proteomics.
