SIMS enables corporate-wide access, with permission, to image collections for subsequent analysis. With the infrastructure in place, Scimagix can then develop analysis and mining tools to address experiment specific problems. The open architecture also allows third-party vendors to access the image collections for use with their tools. Scimagix is actively developing a 2D electrophoresis gel analysis and mining tool . It will be delivered in the first quarter of 2000.
