MassQC is an online proteomics service that analyzes, displays, and compares standard LC-MS/MS runs. Monitor and troubleshoot the performance of your LC-MS instrumentation with our new quality control tool.
Use MassQC to answer these questions:
- Is the LC-MS functioning well now?
- Is the LC-MS giving reproducible results?
- Is LC-MS performance degrading over time?
MassQC supports Thermo® Data Dependent Analysis (DDA) MS/MS RAW files from the following instruments:
- LTQ™
- LTQ FT™
- LTQ Orbitrap™
- LTQ Velos™
- LTQ Orbitrap Velos™

Preparation may take days. Each sample can represent an investment of thousands of dollars. It's only logical to increase confidence in the instrument by using MassQC.
It's a simple process: run a standard protein mix such as BSA, upload the *.RAW files to MassQC with a click, then compare the latest result to your growing historical record.
This reduces wasted time and samples, allows you to tune your instrument and identify more proteins and helps the technician identify maintenance needs.
