For REDFIN Solo
We are really happy with REDFIN! For the first time we feel that we can believe the generated 2-DE data and, furthermore, we were able to confirm our results with Western blot data.
Rita Hrabakova, Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
I have used several other 2D gel image analysis software but REDFIN surprised me in a very positive way. It is very easy to use, reliable, and it provides a good statistical analysis.
Duarte Afonso, Klinikum Rechts der Isar, TU Munich, Germany
We found REDFIN to be a very valuable tool for 2DE image analysis. It provides a fast and effective method for spot reviewing, and the way the results are displayed makes it much easier to discern between true and false spots, and true and false expression differences.
Another feature that we really like is that it allows spot and match editing in a very simple and intuitive way.

The performance of the novel REDFIN Solo application is very impressive indeed. I find the ease, speed and accuracy of the alignment step particularly impressive, and found that the software does very well both quantitatively and qualitatively in comparison to other top-of-the-line 2DE analysis software that also utilize a 4th generation work flow.
The monetary aspect is inevitably an important factor for us academic researchers, and the fact that REDFIN Solo offers a pay-per-gel service makes the concept even more attractive. You would have to analyze a gargantuan number of 2DE gels to reach the purchase price - or even the up-grade price - of other software products with similar performance.

I have used REDFIN Solo on several 2D gel experiments and find it to be a very good software - both easy and user-friendly to work with.
One of the most impressive features is the speed of the analysis. I now only have to spend a fraction of the time to analyze my gels compared to other 2D gel image analysis software.

For the Ludesi Basic and Pro analysis service
I have said this before, but I want to restate how impressed I have been with the level of customer service and quality that Ludesi has provided so far. I will recommend Ludesi to any of our own customers who may be doing 2D Gel work.
Vince Boveia, LI-COR Biosciences, Inc., Nebraska, USA
In the experiments we analyzed using the REDFIN analysis service options we were able to detect more differentially displayed spots.
Online support is very good, and we think that this point is very important for making an online image analysis service feasible. Each time we needed any help, the communication was very fast and clear.
Overall, we feel very comfortable when using the REDFIN analysis service: the workflow is simple, the results clearly reported and the online support is great.

We were noticing that our old 2D analysis software was either missing bonafide spots or creating 'ghost' spots.
Ludesi's image analysis was much more robust and yielded more "true" spots for further processing.
I would use them again for future 2D gel image analysis!

After experiencing Ludesi's offering and service levels, it was evident that Ludesi can provide us with a fast, cost-efficient and hassle-free way of getting reliable data from 2D gel images.
The new Ludesi REDFIN software is a great added value to our gel-based proteomics work-flow.

Obtaining accurate analysis results from our 2D gel images is important for our scientists in order to make sound scientific decisions.
After using the Ludesi 2D Gel Image Analysis Service during the past year, our scientists are very impressed by Ludesi’s technologies.

Takeshi Yamauchi, Manager of R&D Planning at Mitsubishi Pharma, Japan
My experience with Ludesi involves the comparative analysis of two-dimensional gels corresponding to 3 different biomedical research projects.
We have found the Ludesi REDFIN software for working with the data very user friendly, clear, accurate and flexible. What is more important, the service provided by Ludesi is optimal not only regarding work quality but also in its human aspect: friendliness, availability and competence.
I am now in the process of submitting a publication including the results obtained in one of the projects, and another will follow later this year. I have already recommended Ludesi to several of my colleagues.

We have used Ludesi for 2D gel image analysis on several of our projects and have been immensely pleased with the quality of the results that have been generated, as well as the turn around time to complete the analysis, saving our lab time and money.
I would highly recommend the Ludesi’s image analysis to any group who is planning to use 2D gel electrophoresis to look for statistically significant differences in protein expression.

Gerry Hoehn, former Director of Clinical Proteomic Applications, NIH Clinical Center, USA
Thanks to our agreement with Ludesi we have been able to debottleneck the protein quantification step in our high-throughput 2D-gel-based proteomics platform.
We get accurate relative quantitative data for a considerably larger number of spots than we could before.
This improvement is of great value for an in-depth understanding of the metabolism of microbes we are working on and thus for further engineering of biotechnological production strains.

Dr. Isabelle Maillet, Lab Head, DSM Nutritional Products, Switzerland
Ludesi is my preferred choice for 2D gel image analysis and I recommend it to other researchers working with 2D gels.
Personally I am using Ludesi Basic for the image analysis of my 2D gels. In combination with the Ludesi REDFIN software, I feel it performs very well and gives me good value for money.
With the release of the "Editing Tools" into the REDFIN software, it is now also possible to correct potential spot detection or matching errors that might exist after a Ludesi Basic analysis. For those with more experience in 2D gel image analysis and not in a big hurry, this is a good and cost-effective alternative to the more complete Ludesi Pro service.

We were favourably impressed by the performance of the Ludesi image analysis pipeline. The Ludesi analysis was able to more than double the number of differentially expressed and valid spots detected in our experiment, compared to an analysis using our conventional 2D gel software.
I can recommend using Ludesi especially for complex 2D gel experiments or when you simply want to get the most out of your gels.

I am very impressed with the Ludesi REDFIN software!
Using Ludesi for 2D gel image analysis, I get much better image analysis compared to using other 2D gel software.
I just can’t imagine doing 2D gel image analysis using conventional software again.
