Fujifilm und DECODON kooperieren im Vertrieb von Software für Bio Imaging
Die Life Science Division der Fujifilm Europe GmbH, Düsseldorf, und DECODON
GmbH, Greifswald, haben einen Kooperationsvertrag zum europaweiten
Vertrieb der Delta2D Software von Decodon abgeschlossen. DECODON ist
spezialisiert auf die Entwicklung von Software für die funktionelle
Genomforschung. Die Software Delta2D wird zusammen mit Bio Imaging
Produkten von Fujifilm eingesetzt und verbessert deren Leistungsfähigkeit.
Der Vertrag beginnt mit sofortiger Wirkung und sichert Fujifilm die
Vertriebsrechte von Delta2D zusammen mit den Bio-Imaging Instrumenten aus dem eigenen Unternehmen. Dies sind insbesondere multifunktionale Fluoreszenz-Scanner wie FLA 5100 oder FLA 7000.
Dr. Michael Kaling, European Manager Life Science bei der Fujifilm Europe GmbH und Markus Kolbe, Geschäftsführer der DECODON GmbH bestätigen: "Delta2D und die multifunktionalen Fluoreszenscanner bilden eine optimale funktionelle Gesamtlösung für die Bilderstellung und -analyse von zweidimensionalen Protein-Gelen, die auch die modernen Multiplex-Strategien unterstützt."
FLA 5100 und FLA 7000 erlauben das schnelle Scannen von Fluoreszenz markierten Protein-2D Gelen mit höchster Auflösung und Empfindlichkeit. Beide Geräte können mit vier Lasern gleichzeitig ausgerüstet werden, beispielsweise für blau, grün, rot und Infrarot. Eine zusätzliche Zweikanal-Optik ermöglicht simultanes Scannen zweier Farbstoffe in 2D Proteomics Applikationen.
Im Zuge der Diversifikation in neue Geschäftsfelder wird der Bereich Life Science bei Fujifilm zum Kerngeschäft ausgebaut. Zu den Kunden gehören Vertreter der pharmazeutischen Industrie, die gesamte Biotech Branche, Forschungseinrichtungen, Kliniken, diagnostische Labore, Untersuchungsämter sowie auch der Veterinärmarkt.
DECODON ist spezialisiert auf die Entwicklung von Software für funktionnelle Genomforschung und ist mit Delta2D technologisch führend im Bereich der 2D Gel Auswertungssoftware. Zu den weltweiten Innovationen, mit denen Delta2D die 2D Gelanalyse erheblich optimiert und beschleunigt hat, zählen u.a. vollständiges Spot Matching, Color Coding und SmartVectorsTM.

DECODON to introduce Protecs, the proteomics information system
Greifswald, 12 August 2003: DECODON GmbH, a leading provider of
software for functional genomics, will introduce the proteomics
information system Protecs at the second annual meeting of the Human
Proteome Organisation (Montreal, 8-11 October) and in parallel at
BioTechnica 2003 (Hannover, Germany, 7-9 October). Using Protecs, work
groups from pharma, biotech and basic research can correlate their
experimental data for samples, 2D-gels, mass spectra, identified spots,
and expression levels to basic genomics and proteomics data. A
differentiated system of access rights is used to control access to data
and to enable collaboration within and between groups.
Markus Kolbe, DECODON's CEO, notes: "Especially in view of current cost
concerns it is becoming more and more important for proteomics users to
gain a maximum of information from their experiments. With Protecs, we
enable work groups from applied and basic research to organize their
data in a central location and to integrate it into a global view from
which the relevant proteins can be pinpointed. Its easy configurability,
high performance, and near-zero maintenance make Protecs especially
attractive to work groups with little or no IT staff."
Protecs can easily be adapted to different applications such as
tumor research or bacterial proteomics, special "parameter
sheets" allow for this to be done by the end-user. Protecs is based
on the Caché post relational database; it can be used through a web
browser as well as with Delta2D, DECODON's 2D gel image analysis
software. Protecs has open interfaces which make it easy to embed into
existing infrastructure, such as LIMS (lab information management
systems).

DECODON Signs Distribution Agreement with Fujifilm
Bioinformatics company to extend presence in Japan.
DECODON GmbH (Greifswald, Germany) will cooperate with the Japanese
technology multinational Fuji Photo Film Co. Ltd. (Fujifilm). Under the
agreement, DECODON's software for the analysis of protein patterns on
two-dimensional electrophoresis gels, Delta2D, will be distributed in
Japan by Fujifilm.
As part of its strategy to expand Life Sciences into a core business,
the technology multinational Fujifilm completes its offerings to
Proteomics customers. Prior to the agreement, Fujifilm carried out an
evaluation of the software products available world-wide. "Delta2D will
now be available also in Japan in combination with the high-quality
renowned instruments by Fujifilm, providing an end-to-end solution",
says Markus Kolbe, CEO of DECODON. Kolbe continues: "Fujifilm's adding
Delta2D to its product portfolio is an important step for DECODON in
establishing itself as a global technology leader in software tools for
functional genomics."
The software Delta2D enables the reliable analysis of protein patterns
on two-dimensional electrophoesis gel images. It is used by scientists
from industry and basic research working in functional genomics. These
analyses are used, for example, in drug discovery and diagnostics.
Delta2D supports multifluorescence as well as conventional gel
electrophoresis experiments. The image processing technology
incorporated in Delta2D enables analyses in a fraction of the time
needed by other products while enabling superior reproducibility.
