MassHunter Explorer

Quickly draw critical insights from complex data

MassHunter Explorer

  • MassHunter Explorer makes nontargeted analysis faster and smarter by seamlessly combining powerful data extraction with statistical analysis and advanced identification procedures. Statistically significant results can be obtained quickly and efficiently through cutting-edge analytical techniques and powerful algorithms, conveniently guided by intuitive navigation and extensive data visualization. Multiple identification options include complementary access to SIRIUS with molecular formula annotation, structure database searching and fingerprint prediction and compound class prediction (CSI:FinegrID and Canopus) MassHunter Explorer is ideal for LC/Q-TOF applications like food, environmental, and metabolomics analyses, where finding and identifying compounds unique to a sample or a group of samples is required.​
  • A workflow-guided, simplified user interface allows users to quickly derive significant information and reach clarity from complex data in a wide variety of applications. Processing speed is dramatically increased by employing sophisticated algorithms and linked data extraction. The project-based approach allows easy setup and transferability for beginners and significantly fast-tracks the workflow for experienced analysts.
  • Project-based, guided workflow for non-targeted data extraction and analysis​
  • One application for easy review of instrument results, linked with statistics and identification results​
  • Fast, multi-threaded data extraction and analysis, leveraging all your High-Resolution MS and MS/MS measurements​
  • Built-in statistical techniques like t-tests, fold-change, volcano plots, ANOVA, hierarchical cluster analyses, and more, help to find significant compounds of interests​
  • Integrated library search for known compounds and direct access to NIST LC/MS library and advanced unknown compound elucidation tools with SIRIUS
  • Easy export to Mass Profiler Professional (MPP) for additional analyses​
  • Access to GNPS Featured Based Molecular Networks (FBMN) provides relative abundance information and less redundant node generation
  • Complete data transfer to FluoroMatch eliminates peak picking
