Abstract

En 中文
As part of a larger effort to aid in seamless integration of Fourier-based multiplexed ion mobility with a range mass analyzers, we have developed an all-in-one graphical user interface tool for FT-IM-MS data analysis that runs directly within a web browser. This tool, FTflow, accepts mzML files and displays necessary information such as mass spectra and extracted ion chromatograms in order to reconstruct arrival time distributions. It also extracts the corresponding mobility-related information (e.g., Ko and CCS) for each of the target ion populations. Furthermore, input fields for experimental conditions are clearly laid out for users and ease-of-use. With flexibility in mind, the processing scripts and GUI interface are written entirely in Python and allows users the option to modify source code to fit their specific needs. While the intention for this tool is to be a starting point for exploratory analysis of FT-IM-MS data, it has the capability to be adapted for use in more automated data processing pipelines through direct access of core processing routines.
