Next Generation Software Offers Enhanced Control and Function, with
Pathway Mapping, Process Automation, and Improved Access to Compound
Databases
GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 25, 2014--
Waters
Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today introduced Progenesis®
QI Version 2.0, the next generation of liquid chromatography-mass
spectrometry (LC-MS) software for small molecule 'omics data analysis,
at the 20thInternational
Mass Spectrometry Conference in Geneva, Switzerland.
Today's announcement complements the June introduction of Progenesis QI
for proteomics Version 2.0 for large molecule 'omics data analysis. Both
Progenesis QI and Progenesis QI for proteomics software take LC-MS data
analysis to new levels of speed and sophistication, enabling users to
rapidly quantify and identify the significantly changing small molecule,
lipid compounds, and proteins in samples.
The new features of Progenesis QI Version 2.0 include Pathway Mapping,
which facilitates the process of placing discoveries into a biological
context, extracting maximum value from 'omics data; Workflow Automation,
which enables the software to move through multiple processing stages
without user intervention, thus saving valuable time and allowing for
overnight and weekend processing; Improved access to compound databases,
increasing the chance of successful compound identification; and
seamless integration with the extended statistics functionality in
EZInfo 3.0, with two-way dataflow to allow for flexible data mining
through a single, menu-driven command.
“Discovery is nothing without understanding,” said Dr. Rohit Khanna,
Vice President of Informatics and Worldwide Marketing for the Waters
Division. “The new version of Progenesis QI features interface
improvements that make working with the software even faster and more
intuitive than before, giving users more confidence in their research
and a deeper understanding of the results.”
Progenesis QI Version 2.0 provides an easy-to-learn, intuitive workflow
that is flexible and based on how researchers function. It has a
highly-visual interface. The expanded functionality has broad
applications across a wide variety of areas including pharmaceutical,
health sciences, food, environmental and chemical research.

About Progenesis QI Software
Waters introduced Progenesis QI
and Progenesis QI for proteomics in April 2014 at the Analytica
conference in Munich, Germany, following the company’s acquisition of
Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd., the world leader in ‘omics data analysis
software.
In June 2014, Waters expanded its suite of focused informatics packages
with the release of Progenesis QI for proteomics Version 2.0.
Progenesis QI software enables researchers to accurately quantify and
identify compounds and proteins with unique methods to analyze and
visualize LC-MS data. Supporting all common LC-MS data formats with
intuitive guided workflows, Progenesis QI software allows customers to
rapidly, objectively and reliably discover compounds and proteins of
interest in their valuable samples. With new features including pathway
mapping, process automation, and improved access to compound databases,
Progenesis QI Version 2.0 offers enhanced control and function.
