Assuming the voltages are correct, has anyone ever had issues running a 15 A mass spectrometer on a 30 A circuit?

We've got a new MassSpecCodingClub module posted. The videos are linked here: github.com/michaelmarty...

This module teaches how to parse FASTA files and read/write Pandas DataFrames. We explore an application of converting DDA data into an MRM transition list. Enjoy!

Excited to have this published in @jacs.acspublications.org! IsoDec is a new neural network for charge state assignment with high-resolution MS data. We test it for top-down proteomics. It's free and fast, what else could you want?

I am thrilled to share after years of work/procrastination that the MassQL manuscript is finally published in @natmethods.nature.com - "A universal language for finding mass spectrometry data patterns". This was an team effort from all co-authors that helped shape MassQL and how it could be used.

Would anyone be interested in me holding a UniDec/IsoDec office hour at ASMS this year?
March 24, 2025 at 5:16 PM
Well, the USA may be getting worse, but UniDec is getting better. Check out the new version here: github.com/michaelmarty...

Mostly bug fixes. I'd love some people to try it out and let me know how it works on their computers. Hopefully it fixes issues with it getting blocked by antiviruses

Really excited to release a beta version of UniDec 8.0!

The coolest feature is a new AI-based charge assignment for isotopic resolution data. It's performing a little better than Thrash/Xtract but way faster. Try out IsoDec if you are doing top-down!
