Agilent G2724AA Spectrum Mill Extractor Quick Start Guide

The Agilent G2724AA Spectrum Mill Extractor for Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex QSTAR Data Files is a collection of tools for high-throughput processing of MS and MS/MS spectra to provide protein and peptide identifications and relative quantitation. It enables use of the Spectrum Mill workbench with QSTAR *.wiff files, extracting and preparing raw data for further processing. It performs various operations on MS/MS data, such as extracting and merging nearby spectra, assigning precursor charges, centroiding the spectra, calculating spectral features, and filtering spectra by quality. It also enables quantitation by calculating extracted ion chromatograms. For MS-only data files, it extracts, averages, and centroids the data.

Frequently asked questions

What is the function of the QSTAR Data Extractor?

It extracts and merges nearby MS/MS spectra from the same precursor ion, assigns precursor charges where possible, centroids the MS/MS spectra, calculates spectral features, filters MS/MS spectra by quality, and calculates extracted ion chromatograms.

What data files does the extractor process?

It processes Applied Biosystems/MDS Sciex QSTAR *.wiff files.

What is required to process *.wiff data files?

A copy of Analyst QS equivalent to or newer than the version used to acquire the data needs to be co-resident on the Spectrum Mill server.
