Overview

Spectral Denoising removes candidate electronic and chemical noise ions from tandem spectra. Denoising Search applies candidate-dependent molecular information during reference-library matching and returns comparisons for raw and denoised spectra.

Scope and considerations

Designed for

  • Spectral Denoising removes candidate electronic and chemical noise ions from tandem spectra.

Not designed for

  • Formula-independent removal of all interference or proof of a compound identity from an improved matching score alone.

Important requirements

  • Python 3.8-3.12 with RDKit and dependencies; chemical denoising needs a molecular formula or SMILES plus adduct information, and search needs a compatible reference library.

Considerations

  • Candidate chemistry and precursor tolerances influence which ions are retained. Validate thresholds and preserve original spectra for assessing possible removal of genuine fragments.
