TraceFinder software

Increase productivity by acquiring and processing your targeted screening and routine quantitative data from Thermo Scientific LC and GC quadrupole and HRAM-MS systems.

With configuration for environmental-, clinical-, food safety-, forensics- and pharma/biopharma-specific nomenclature, you can rapidly and flexibly develop confident routine quantitative or targeted screening workflows that are accessible to all with minimal training requirements.

Offering user log in with controlled privileges, combined with the ability to tailor what you see on-screen, method and reporting templates, and highly visualized data review; Thermo Scientific TraceFinder software allows you to rapidly acquire, process, review and report your high-throughput quantitative or targeted screening workflows with accuracy, precision, and confidence.


Key benefits of TraceFinder software

Complete configurabilityQuantify more, in less timeAccess the latest mass spectral library informationManage your data; don’t let your data manage you

In high-throughput laboratories, time spent learning new software means less time for analyzing samples.

With market-specific terminology, user login for different operator levels, and configurable views to aid data processing and reporting, spend more time generating results.

Easily configurable methods, and the ability to select pre-configured methods and reporting templates, combined with real-time processing and data evaluation means that your results are rapidly available for review and reporting whether they are from quadrupole or high-resolution data.

Targeted methods can be rapidly populated with target compounds from compound databases.

When screening or requiring additional confirmation, or to identify unknowns, you can access the latest Thermo Scientific mzCloud mass spectral library contents through mzVault as well as utilize the NIST mass spectral library.

Your data is your knowledge, so it has inherent value.

Being able to acquire and store data across your network means that you can safeguard this knowledge and manage data more easily.

TraceFinder software targeted screening screenshot

With targeted screening, confidence in your results is key. The ability for multiple forms of confirmation from spectral library matching, fragment ion confirmation through to isotopic pattern confirmation (as shown above), and highly visual data review capabilities not only affords rapid data review and reporting, but assurance that you have matched your targets.

TraceFinder software data review screenshot

Simplify review based upon your needs with a data review that is highly visual and flexible based upon sample or compound views, using filters and groups, which can also be carried forwards to reporting.

For assays where exhaustive sample profiling is required to ensure each compound has sufficient, high-quality accurate-mass fragmentation information (MSn) for confident compound identification, AcquireX data acquisition allows you to automate this traditionally tedious process.

Pre-defined method templates are available to use straight away, or to facilitate rapid method development. AcquireX experiments provide you with the means to capture MSn fragmentation spectra on the components of interest, and not background ions or matrix components.

Collect more meaningful data, and not just more data.


Key benefits of AcquireX software

Collect more meaningful data, not just more dataFully automated, all-inclusive data acquisitionIncreased productivity and more confident identifications
Typical LC-MSn workflows compromise between spectral quality, specificity, and coverage and require extensive manual input. Break these dependencies and capture high-quality MSn spectral data on every compound in your sample, automatically.From background exclusion to the inclusion of sample compounds, automated include/exclude list updates and iterative sample re-injections ensure exhaustive MSn profiling without the need for manual interrogation.Compared to 'traditional' DDA, both the number of compounds with in-depth fragmentation spectra and the confidence in spectral matches increases, when using AcquireX with Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software or Thermo Scientific Mass Frontier software with mzCloud is increased.
AcquireX MSn analysis

Through analysis of sample background (a blank), an exclusion list is automatically created, followed by a full scan MS analysis to create an inclusion list of precursor ions. These inclusion and exclusion lists are then used to dynamically analyze your sample.

The lists are automatically updated as MSn data is acquired for each compound, ensuring data quality through reduced redundancy in the total number of fragmentation spectra per compound.
