ACD/Spectrus Processor—MS Capabilities

ACD/Spectrus Processor is a multi-technique analytical data processing and interpretation application that provides a number of capabilities specific to those working with mass spectrometry techniques (LC/UV/MS, GC/MS). Spectrus Processor provides a single common interface to process and interpret MS data, UV data, and data from any other associated detectors.

Processing & Interpretation

  • Support for most instrument vendor formats, including AB SCIEX, Agilent, Bruker, LECO, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Thermo, Waters, and more
  • Automate routine steps of analysis by selecting pre-processing upon data import
  • Automatically confirm mass or molecular formula by the correspondence of mass spectral peaks
  • Add a structure, formula, or mass to the Table of Components to automatically extract a relevant mass chromatogram
  • Search peaks or a spectrum against a spectral library for fast compound identification

Assisted Chemical Structure Confirmation

Add a structure, an elemental composition, or a mass into the Table of Components to automatically extract a relevant mass chromatogram, or assign a peak to generate a mass spectrum. Color-coded MS match categories (Excellent, Good, & Poor) indicate the consistency of monoisotopic and isotope peaks with the experimental data, helping to confirm compound structures.

Spectral Library Searching

The ability to search and view processed and interpreted analytical data through Spectrus Processor extends knowledge-sharing to the desktop of every scientist. Not only can you search commercial databases but also those created in-house. Processing and interpretation tools allow analytical data created and stored by colleagues to be re-examined, to help answer new questions. Learn more

LC/UV/MS Processing in Open-Access Laboratories

In open-access, or walk-up, environments, Spectrus Processor can combine "live" data processing with open-access report viewing for more confident compound confirmation. Learn more
