Spectromania Features

Introduction
Spectromania is a software for visualization and analysis of mass spectrometric data. The human eye has an extraordinary ability to perceive huge amounts of data (approx. 10 Mill. bit). The human brain is specialized to process visual data in an efficient way. Consequently visualization of data is very useful to aid the process of knowledge extraction from complex data structures. Spectromania enables the scientist to reveal information hidden in datasets in an easy and convenient way.
The interactive approach, the conjunction with experimental variables and the possibility to perform statistical calculation allows to assess mass spectrometric data in a completely new way.
Features
Versions
Different versions of Spectromania are available. The Demo Version allows to test the basic functionality of the software. The Full Version includes all major functions like batch processing of data. The Pro Version offers additionally the possibility to integrate Spectromania in a productive environment by remote database integration.
Differential Display
Datasets can be compared via Differential Display. Signals are displayed in shades of red, grey and blue to visualize different intensities of signals between datasets.
Visualization
Visualization of data helps to unravel information hiding in complex data. The interactive approach makes it possible to easily recognize phenomena related to process metadata to signals specific for the underlying experiment.
Statistics
Various statistical methods are available in Spectromania. Calculations are possible based on spectra or even between groups of spectra (displays). Results are visualized allowing to interact with the data.
Remote Database Functionalities
The remote database functionality allows to store relevant metadata (e.g. process related or clinical data) and correlate this data to mass spectrometric profiles. Additionally sequence information of identified peptides is accessible via the main interface by hovering the cursor above the peak of interest.
Integrated Database
The integrated database functionality allows to store huge amounts of mass spectrometric data thus enabling a fast access to stored profiles. The preview function, the possibility to attach metadata to each dataset and a sophisticated search ensures a quick retrieval of specific data. Additionally processing of datasets for statistical calculation is possible in a very convenient way.
Peptide Database
We offer the possibility to access a database of peptides (>5000 entires) to identify mass spectrometric signals by in-silico annotation.
