This document is the user guide of Agilent Mass Hunter Software Quick Start Guide.
Mass Hunter is an integral part of Agilent TOF software (version A.02.00) designed to extract information from chromatographic and electrophoretic mass spectral data. It reduces data complexity, eliminates potential interferences, and generates a list of molecular features defined by the combination of retention time and mass.
The guide provides instructions on how to start the software via the desktop or Start menu. It includes exercises for extracting feature information from single files or batches, reprocessing files with different parameters, reviewing species clusters and extracted ion chromatograms (EICs), and working with various plots such as contour plots.
The software operates on chromatographic and electrophoretic mass spectral data to extract information, reduce data complexity, eliminate potential interferences, and generate a list of molecular features.
The software processes Agilent TOF data files that have the .wiff extension.
An .mhd file containing extraction results and an Excel file are automatically created upon processing.
