Scope and considerations

Designed for

  • IonToolPack groups graphical mass-spectrometry utilities for raw-data visualization, PeakQC quality assessment, tandem-library matching, targeted MS1 extraction and feature-list comparison.

Not designed for

  • Automatic confirmation of library matches or calibrated concentration determination from peak abundance alone.

Important requirements

  • A compatible desktop release and supported raw files; targeted extraction needs target settings and tandem matching needs MSP or CSV reference libraries.

Considerations

  • Module capabilities differ. Vendor-reader compatibility, QC thresholds and matching tolerances must be checked for the acquisition; the listed primary paper describes PeakQC within the suite.
