Nonlinear Dynamics signed the first distributor agreements for its recently launched Progenesis 2D electrophoresis image analysis software last week. PerkinElmer Life Sciences and Amersham Pharmacia Biotech each agreed to distribute the software to complement their ProXpress and Ettan proteomics systems, respectively.

“Both are very important deals for us,” said Will Dracup, CEO of Nonlinear Dynamics. He noted that they each follow on existing deals for the company’s Phoretix line of image analysis software.
