IBM uses Credly, a digital credentialing platform which recently acquired Pearson's Acclaim badging business, to engage employees with its educational offerings.
Tools such as education course provider Udacity and academic credentialing platform Degreed are further facilitating this change by making it easier for individuals to pick up new skills and present what they know.
Second, the credentialing platform is better suited to identify low-intensity features of biological origin.
Rather, the credentialing platform is designed only to compare the performance of different untargeted metabolomic methods.
Because the credentialing platform only uses natural-abundance and U-C samples, it is not subject to this limitation.
This credentialing platform enables us to accurately compare the number of nonartifactual features yielded by different experimental approaches.
Thus, the credentialing platform can readily be applied by any laboratory to optimize their untargeted metabolomic pipeline for metabolite extraction, chromatographic separation, mass spectrometric detection, and bioinformatic processing.
While IROA could be used for this purpose in principle, the credentialing platform is not constrained by the aim of discovery analysis and therefore offers several advantages.
We have validated the credentialing platform with reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography as well as Agilent, Thermo Scientific, AB SCIEX, and LECO mass spectrometers.
It is important to emphasize that the credentialing platform described herein is not intended to identify differences between various biological phenotypes (discovery profiling).
Our credentialing platform relies on easily generated E. coli samples and a simple software algorithm that is freely available on our laboratory Web site (http://pattilab.wustl.edu/software/credential/).edu/software/credential/
