Waters and Rosetta Biosoftware collaborate

Waters Corporation (Milford, Massachusetts) and Rosetta Biosoftware (Seattle, Washington) recently announced a collaboration to develop interfaces that promote compatibility between their software platforms and Waters mass spectrometry-based systems. The companies will work together to ensure that the Rosetta Elucidator system, Rosetta's solution for protein expression data management and analysis, will process and analyze mass spectrometry data generated from the Waters Q-Tof Premier and Synapt High Definition Mass Spectrometry (HDMS) systems.

The collaboration will focus on developing software interfaces between the Elucidator system and Waters instrument systems that will give scientists the capability to perform comprehensive qualitative and quantitative profiling of complex biological mixtures.
