SmileMS

LC-MSMS software for small molecule identification with confidence

SmileMS software is designed to identify analyses from mass spectrometry (MS) spectra of fragmented molecules via a spectral library search approach. It can be used both for targeted and untargeted screening methods.

Applications

LC-MSMS is a recognized powerful analytical technique used to screen and identify a wide range of chemical compounds. It is used routinely in many laboratories in fields such as Laboratory Medicine, Forensic Toxicology, Doping Control, Food Testing, and Metabolomics research. SmileMS proposes a unique LC-MSMS library search solution. It is designed to identify analytes from MS spectra of fragmented molecules via a spectral library search approach. It can be used both for targeted and untargeted screening methods.

Key features

  • Outstanding compound identification with highest levels of confidence
  • Easy to use and intuitive interface
  • Two-step workflow designed for routine technicians
  • Interactive result review for in-depth analysis
  • Filters for identification of metabolites and other unknown compounds
  • Compatible with LC-MSMS instruments from major vendors (AB Sciex, Agilent, Bruker, Thermo, Waters)
  • Library search against multiple LC-MSMS libraries, provided by NIST, AB Sciex, Wiley, as well as home made libraries

Advanced functionalities

  • Take advantage of accurate mass MSMS from high resolution instruments, e.g. QqTOF, FT, etc.
  • Efficient spectra library management (edition, visualization, sharing, etc.)
  • Analysis workspace for organization of results and analyses
  • Login system and user rights for enhanced traceability and privileges
  • Automation with “SmileMS submission module” for greater productivity with Bruker and Thermo instruments

Main advantages

SmileMS is a unique software tool for rapid screening of large sets of molecules by LC-MS/MS. It provides a robust, reliable, easy-to-use and MS vendor-independent solution.
