REDFIN Solo

Ludesi Corporation, developer of the award-winning 2D gel image analysis solutions for 2-dimensional electrophoresis gels, today introduced their new 2D gel image analysis software with a unique payment model. Besides enabling a fast and reliable analysis of 2D gel images, the new software called REDFIN Solo allows researchers to decide which analyses are worth paying for based on the quality of the results they were able to achieve.

This new concept of "pay only if you're happy" combined with Ludesi's unique pay-per-gel system ensures that researchers are able to access the highest quality tools whilst retaining complete flexibility to tailor their costs to the minimum amount necessary.

"The performance of the novel REDFIN Solo application is very impressive indeed," says Dr. Åsa Wheelock, group leader in clinical proteomics at the prestigious Karolinska Institute. "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 is accessible through a pay-per-gel model 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," concludes Dr. Wheelock.

"Tight budgets and limited research grants are a reality for many research labs, however the need for powerful analytical software tools has been increasing. We have succeeded in creating a tool that completely side-steps this potential conflict. Whilst being absolutely low-cost it is highly competitive with current market leading software," explains Ludesi CEO Ola Forsstrom-Olsson.

REDFIN Solo comes as standard with the freely downloadable REDFIN software and for only $30 per gel is offered as a third analysis solution alongside the Ludesi Basic and Pro analysis services.

About the REDFIN software

The innovative Ludesi REDFIN software was shortly after its release in 2008 rewarded the prestigious Global 2D Gel Electrophoresis Emerging Technology of the Year Award by leading market analyst Frost & Sullivan. Using Ludesi REDFIN researchers can analyze their 2D gel images using either the image analysis module REDFIN Solo, or use the in-built service options Ludesi Basic or Ludesi Pro. REDFIN has an innovative way of presenting 2D gel data, and features online sharing of experiments, automatic online backup of data and images, and access from any Internet connected computer.
