Mass Spectral Analysis Using KnowItAll Software & Spectral Libraries

The KnowItAll software, combined with the high-quality spectral reference data, provides one of the most advanced technologies for fast, accurate spectral analysis. And with the recently released KnowItAll 2021, we added even more spectral intelligence, including a new patent-pending analysis tool specifically for mass spec analysis.

In this session, we will introduce various search strategies for analysis using unknown spectra. Through a series of examples, we will demonstrate:

• Basic Spectral Search
• Reverse Search
• Mixture Analysis
• Adaptive Search (Patent Pending)

We will also introduce you to other important tools for mass spectrometry such as database building, elemental composition and isotopic distribution calculators, and mass fragmentation.
