Abstract:
Optimizing methods for liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is a nontrivial task. Here we present rawDiag, a software tool supporting rational method optimization by providing MS operator-tailored diagnostic plots of scan-level metadata. rawDiag is implemented as an R package and can be executed on the R command line or through a graphical user interface (GUI) for less experienced users. The code runs platform-independent and can process 100 raw files in <3 min on current consumer hardware, as we show in our benchmark. As a demonstration of the functionality of our package we include a real-world example taken from our daily core facility business.
