Metabolomics session 5: Compound Discoverer

Compound Discoverer – A Toolbox for Compound Identification.

Unknown compound identification in untargeted metabolomics poses a lengthy process for the researcher in the metabolomics field. Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software presents a range of options for compound identification based on data-dependent spectral matching from both online (mzCloud) and in-house (mzVault) spectral libraries, elemental formula prediction based on exact mass measurements combined with fine isotope pattern matching and user created mass lists with retention time, structure and accurate mass information.

An overview of the possibilities will be presented.

What you will learn:

• Explore the overview of various tools for compound identification in Compound Discoverer software
• Discover mzCloud (online) and how to use mzVault (locally saved) fragmentation spectral libraries
• Learn about mzLogic and how to make the best of online compound databases
