Workflows: Screening vs. Profiling
Screening
processing Different algorithms to remove background, extract compounds Molecular feature extraction (MFE) by Formula (used for MS data) by Auto MSMS (used for data-dependent MSMS data) by Target MSMS ( used for data from targeted experiments) base search of accurate masses with or without retention time Used for MS data from MFE, by Formula Also used for MS data from Auto MS/MS and targeted MS/MS Library search for accurate mass MS/MS spectra Used for msms spectra from data-dependent Auto MS/MS Used for MS/MS spectra from targeted experiments Used for MS/MS spectra assigned to MFE compounds
by Formula Ion Information Ion chromatogram drawn from information Spectra extracted from integrated peak Compound information from formula or base Spectral performance calculated
by Auto MS/MS or Targeted MS/MS by Auto MS/MS or Targeted MS/MS automatically extract the MS and MS/MS information, aligns the spectra sorts and display the according spectra as a single compound. The data can be used to calculate empirical formulas for MS and MS/MS. In addition the information can be used to search the database with the MS data and library search the MS/MS data using the accurate mass MS/MS spectral library. Qual B.04 extracts MFE from Auto MSMS and aligns possible product ion spectra to found features. This allows for a database search of accurate MFE compounds and an MSMS library search of the attached product ion spectra.
Molecular Feature Extractor (MFE) MFE is extremely fast Does not use exhaustive EIC extraction Uses total ion count abundance information, not just base peak Can yield more false negatives than exhaustive approach chromatographic peaks Subtract background Locate the groups of co-variant ions in each chromatogram; Adducts, dimers, isotopes ([M+H] +, [M+H+1] +, Sum all ion signals into one value Raw data Background noise removed Individual m/z peaks grouped into isotope clusters Isotopes grouped into features
bases and Libraries base Consists of Name Empirical formula Accurate monoisotopic mass Optional Structure CAS_Number Chemspider Number Retention time Library Same as database plus structure In addition it contains Spectra from Different collision energies Different ion sources Different polarities
base searching From by Formula: Software extracts ion chromatogram based on information from database. Retention time is used to separate isobaric compounds and to speed up the process. From Auto MSMS data: MS data is compared with the database. No MSMS information used. From MFE data: After MFE a list of masses is compared with the database. Optional retention time can be used to separate isobaric compounds. Can be used with pos/neg switching. Positive and negative results are aligned and displayed together
base searching Results Compound list with name and formula. If additional calculations are used coloring helps to find same or different results in different alogrithms MFE spectrum with structure and formula Results with score and individual scores for mass, abundance and spacing
base searching Results pos/neg switching Compound list with name and formula. If additional calculations are used coloring helps to find same or different results in different alogrithms. Please see polarity column saying both if compound is identified in both ionization modes. MFE spectrum with structure and formula. Both spectra are shown but fidelity and structure only shown in positive spectrum and only for M+H+ if MFG calculated Results with score and individual scores for mass, abundance and spacing
Library searching Acquiring data for a MSMS library Collaboration with leading labs to acquire targeted MSMS data at 3 different collision energies MSMS spectra are imported automatically into the library. A tool calculates the theoretical MSMS masses and corrects the masses, not the intensities in the library Background in MS/MS spectra removed by algorithm This makes library indepentent from lab or instrument used Library alogrithm based on NIST/PBM search. Alternatively you can do it yourself! Open System!
Library build PCDL Tool Spectra from different modes can be stored and searched
