Waters launches Progenesis QI 2.0 software for molecule data analysis

Waters has announced the launch of a new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry software solution for small molecule omics data analysis.

The Progenesis QI Version 2.0 software offers a number of beneficial features, including enhanced control and functions such as pathway mapping, process automation and improved access to compound databases.

Its easy-to-learn, intuitive workflow has been optimised to accommodate how researchers work in a flexible way, with a highly visual interface and broad applications across fields such as pharmaceutical, health sciences, food, environmental and chemical research.

The new product was announced during the firm's presentation at the International Mass Spectrometry Conference in Geneva.

Dr Rohit Khanna, vice-president of informatics and worldwide marketing for Waters, said: "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."

This comes after the firm announced the takeover of the Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry technology from MediMass, a move that will strengthen its health science business.
