Boosting the Information Output
The Spectroswiss software solutions provide a step change in FTMS data quality and processing sophistication, helping you to take on the most complex and challengingapplications. Our computationally-efficient tools are capable of processing large datasets of both, unreduced data (time-domain data or transients and full profile mass spectra) andreduced data (reduced profile and centroided mass spectra). Our application-specificworkflows enable step-by-step data processing and data analysis.

FTMS Simulator

FTMS Simulator
The FTMS Simulator is a software tool to accurately simulate FTMS isotopic envelopes and mass spectra to:
I. search the experimental data with a like-for-like theoretical data using similarity score for ranking the results
II. design FTMS experiments by selecting appropriate instrumentation settings and FT data processing parameters
III. teach the FTMS subject by demonstrating both transients and corresponding mass spectra, containing typical FT artefacts, etc.
Key features
- Analyte parameters: elemental composition, amino acid sequence, charge carrier, modifications, isotopic enrichment/depletion, number of charge states and isotopologues
- FTMS experiment parameters : FTMS instrument selection (models of OrbitrapTM & ICR), resolution setting (@ m/z), transient sampling rate, add noise, set thresholds
- Data processing parameters : absorption/magnitude FT, apodization function, number of zerofills, full or reduced profile mass spectra, centroids, visualize transients
- Use mass spectra : set ratios of intensities, visualize isotopic envelopes, plot multiple envelopes, extract high quality figures, extract data points for analysis
- Results output : search experimental data, rank search results by the similarity score (m/z, intensity), save project for future use, create report as a PDF file
