PDQuest Officially Discontinued by Bio-Rad, Replaced by SameSpots and SpotMap 2D
Bio-Rad Discontinues PDQuest Software — Recommends TotalLab’s SameSpots and SpotMap 2D as Trusted Alternatives
Bio-Rad has officially announced the discontinuation of its PDQuest™ 2D gel analysis software, a widely used solution in proteomics and 2D gel-based workflows. As of June 2019, PDQuest will no longer be supported or sold, marking the end of an era for many researchers and quality control labs that relied on it for protein expression analysis, host cell protein coverage analysis and general 2D gel documentation.
But there’s good news: Bio-Rad is recommending TotalLab’s SameSpots and SpotMap 2D software as preferred alternatives for PDQuest users moving forward.
Bio-Rad are discontinuing PDQuest because it is not compatible with OS Windows 7 and above, so upgrade now if:
- You use Windows 7 OS or above
- You don’t want your software to be out of support
- You don’t want disruption to your business
- want to use the leading 2D image analysis software developed with key opinion leaders
Recommended replacement 2D analysis products are:
- For differential expression analysis to detect proteomic changes between conditions
- Supports single stain and DIGE gels and 2-way ANOVA experiments
- For the comparison of 2D gels and Western blots, particularly useful for HCP coverage analysis
TotalLab will support you in the transition between software packages and provide training and technical help with your analyses. Click the above product links for a free trial of the latest software in 2D gel analysis!
