PROTOWIN represents the evolution of PROTO5, the application for data acquisition from organ baths preparations from PANLAB.

PROTOWIN is a fully integrated portable package enabling researchers to carry out a thorough analysis of isolated tissue response to drugs in a large number of vessels simultaneously.

The application controls simultaneous data acquisition from the baths for periods only limited by the computer storage capacity. An analysis of the dose‑response curves for each of the baths can be performed either once the data acquisition period is over, or even while data acquisition is being carried out. This analysis includes the study of the fitness of the observed values to theoretical models (linear and non-linear models) and a potency comparison between selected dose‑response curves.

Data is shown on the computer screen while it is being acquired using the well-known Microsoft® Windows® graphical user interface. It can be stored on disk for later reviewing or for filing purposes. The data can also be stored in ASCII and now, in Microsoft® Excel® format making it possible to perform additional statistical analysis using standard packs.
