Products
SpotMap MS
LC-MS Host Cell Protein (HCP) Identification and Quantification Software
Designed specifically for host cell protein (HCP) analysis rather than broad proteomics, SpotMap MS drastically reduces LC‑MS data review time so you can screen more biotherapeutics, sooner, with consistent, auditable results.
Ideal for bioprocess development and QC teams running high‑throughput HCP campaigns.
SpotMap 2D
Automated HCP Coverage Software for 2D Gels + Western Blots
Monitor host cell protein impurities and determine your current antibody coverage with speed and confidence using our 2D gel and western blot analysis software, so you can make informed decisions about process optimization and antibody suitability.
Supports regulatory‑friendly documentation of HCP coverage studies.
SpotMap ELISA
Automated HCP ELISA Analysis Software
SpotMap ELISA is a vendor‑neutral HCP ELISA analysis package with built‑in QC tracking, automating plate calculations, standard curves and report generation so you no longer rely on error‑prone spreadsheets.
Supports method transfer and comparability by standardizing ELISA data analysis across sites.
TrendLab
Take a long term term view of your data
TrendLab gives you an interactive, lab‑wide overview of experimental and QC data so you can spot trends, investigate shifts and act before failures occur. Using historical results, it predicts when measurements are likely to breach limits, allowing you to intervene before critical assays or batches are impacted.
Ideal for QC managers and method owners who need a single view across assays, instruments and sites.
AuditSafe
Universal 21 CFR Part 11/GMP‑compliant module for software
AuditSafe is a piece of software that acts like a wrapper around other software or hardware, allowing it to make nearly any existing hardware or software 21 CFR/GMP-compliant. It is extremely flexible and can be combined with our own industry-leading software or with any software developed by third parties (Microsoft Excel, GraphPad Prism, JMP etc.)
SameSpots
2D/2-DE DIGE Image Analysis Software
Achieve fast, objective statistics for differential protein expression in 2D gels and blots, with robust spot matching and normalization that minimize user bias and gel‑to‑gel variability in proteomics studies.
Phoretix 1D
Advanced 1D gel and blot image analysis software
Phoretix 1D delivers high‑quality, reproducible data from your 1D gels and western blots in the shortest possible time, with automated lane detection, band finding and quantification tailored for routine and research workflows.
Phoretix Colony Counter
Automated bacterial colony, cell or particulate counting software
Automated colony and cell counting analysis software that accelerates plate read‑out, improves counting consistency between users and generates structured data ready for downstream statistics and reporting.
Phoretix Array
Automated Array Data Analysis Software for ELISA, Dot Blots, and Microarrays
Obtain high‑quality, reliable quantitative data from ELISA, ELIFA, dot and slot blot assays and microarrays, with standardized analysis workflows that simplify comparison between plates, runs and studies.
Phoretix Toolbox
Freeform scientific image analysis software for flexible R&D use
Phoretix Toolbox gives scientists a sandbox of analysis tools to measure shapes, intensities and structures in scientific images, ideal for exploratory R&D work and bespoke assays that fall outside standard workflows.
CLIQS 1D Pro
1D Gel Electrophoresis Band Matching Software
CLIQS 1D Pro extracts lanes and bands from your gels and blots into an easy‑to‑use database, where they can be automatically matched across multiple experiments, enabling rapid pattern recognition, band tracking and historical comparison.

Aligning your LC-MS HCP workflow to USP 1132.1 is a different problem from running the analysis itself. This resource walks through what the chapter asks of your method, why proteomics-based software makes alignment harder, and how SpotMap MS — paired with AuditSafe — gives you USP 1132.1 HCP software that is 21 CFR Part 11 ready from day one.

Find Out MoreLC-MS HCP Software Comparison: SpotMap MS vs Proteomics Tools
Most LC-MS software your QC team uses today was designed for proteomics, not host cell protein analysis — and it shows. This side-by-side comparison of SpotMap MS against Byos, BioPharma Finder, Genedata Expressionist and MaxQuant looks at the ten dimensions that matter when you're choosing an LC-MS HCP platform for regulated biopharma QC.
Find Out MoreAutomated Host Cell Protein (HCP) Analysis from LC-MS Data | SpotMap MS
Traditional proteomics software wasn't built for host cell protein analysis. SpotMap MS is. This walkthrough takes you through the fully automated HCP analysis workflow, from raw LC-MS traces and visual quality control through to AI-driven risk assessment, guided peptide validation, and 21 CFR Part 11-compliant threat reporting.
