Why do I need to recombine my fractionated samples in Progenesis QI for proteomics?

When you have fractionated your biological samples to help increase protein coverage there will still come a point where you want to investigate how the proteins behave across the whole experiment. By telling the software which runs are fractions of the same sample we can normalise between fractions and combine protein measurements to provide statistical analyses of the experiment as a whole.

Recombining your samples allows statistics to be calculated across the whole experiment
