ACD/MS Processor

Software for processing and interpreting all types of MS data.

Process your mass spectral data with software designed for convenient analysis, interpretation, and reporting of results. Whether you have a single mass spectrum (MS), tandem mass spectra (MS/MS, MS/MS/MS, ..., MSn), or a hyphenated data set (LC/MS, LC/DAD, CE/MS, and GC/MS), ACD/MS Processor allows you to process all of your mass spectral data in a consistent manner, no matter which instrument make or model was used to acquire the data.

  • Automatically assign mass fragments to spectral peaks
  • COmponent Detection Algorithm (CODA) and COMPARELCMS for LC/MS data
  • Attach chemical structures to spectra including shaded Markush representations
Benefits
  • Consistent, uniform data processing of data
  • Reduce noise and extract relevant information from data sets
  • Create reports quickly and easily

Add additional capabilities to ACD/MS Processor:

ACD/IntelliTarget screens samples for the presence or absence of known compounds specified by formula or monoisotoic mass. In the process [M+H]+ or [M-H]-, adduct, multimer, and fragment ions are automatically assigned.

ACD/IntelliXtract extracts all components in a given dataset, assigns [M+H]+ or [M-H]-, adduct, multimer, and fragment ions, and can reconstruct a pure component spectrum for each.

ACD/MS Fragmenter provides a convenient way to review the fragmentation pathways and possible structure configurations for a particular fragment automatically assigned to a spectral peak by ACD/MS Manager. You can also easily create a report illustrating the possible fragmentation scheme(s).
