Genedata Screener 6.0 Expands into Time Series Data Analysis with new Kinetics Analyzer Module

Genedata has announced the release of Genedata Screener® 6.0, the latest version of its open and scalable enterprise solution for high throughput screening (HTS) and high content screening (HCS) analysis.

Screener 6.0 combines an enterprise-wide assay data management platform with high-performance processing workflows and flexible analysis tools and has a special focus on time series data analysis.

Time series data is complex with hundreds of values per well. Sensible data aggregation is needed to derive meaningful results from such time-dependent responses. The latest Screener release includes an enhanced solution to these kinetics assay data management challenges. This functionality can enable users to analyze, integrate and manage extensive sets of time series data, independent of instrumentation, technology, volume or location.

In the Kinetics Assay module users can optimize aggregation rules, re-analyze data for complete campaigns and systematically gather mechanistic information from curve shape in addition to amplitude. The application programming interfaces (APIs) included in this open system can be connected to the many different readers already on the market, as well as implemented to provide custom aggregation functions for specific experiments.

Quality assessment and visualization are improved and interferences with biological response can be identified from kinetics traces. With consistent data management and visualization, the resulting parameters are optimized for each assay and users are able to extract more information to get better results and better qualified hits from each single experiment.
