As you may know, Sage-N Research offers three SORCERER™ platforms – the SORCERER™ Enterprise, the SORCERER™ 2, and the SORCERER™ Lab.
SORCERER™ Enterprise
The SORCERER™ Enterprise is a customizable and secure throughput and biorepository system for aggregate analysis. Provided as a scalable Blade server with integrated life-science optimized storage, the Enterprise system handles up to a few terrabytes of data and is highly scalable using additional computing resources. This platform is ideal for labs that are highly productive or focused on generating continuous high-throughput data and can analyze 100,000+ spectra/hour – even those with post-translational modifications.
SORCERER™ 2
The SORCERER™ 2 is a mainstream product for most proteomic labs – those with frequent but not continuous high-throughput needs. It is well-suited for modern instruments like the Thermo LTQ and Orbitrap, ABI 4700 and 4800, and Waters SYNAPT G2 and handles 2+ MS spectra/second, or 30,000+ spectra/hour. This system is a stand-alone platform and is not scalable like the SORCERER™ Enterprise.
The SORCERER™ Lab
The SORCERER™ Lab is a lower cost, entry system that is simple, lightweight and compact. Designed to plug-and-play while requiring low IT maintenance, it contains the most essential yet basic capabilities, including SEQUEST 3G, TTP, and Scaffold. The SORCERER™ Lab is still more powerful compared to other PC-based systems. At 10,000+ spectra/hour, it has one-third the analytical throughput of the Discovery system.
