arcMS

arcMS converts multi-dimensional high-resolution Waters UNIFI mass spectrometry data to Apache Parquet or HDF5 columnar formats for compact storage and fast access across programming environments.

Key Features:

• MSE Data Collection: Collects MSE data from Waters UNIFI software for format conversion.
• Columnar Format Conversion: Transforms mass spectrometry data to Apache Parquet format for efficient storage and rapid data retrieval.
• Multi-dimensional Data Support: Handles complex mass spectrometry data including ion mobility and additional dimensions.
• Cross-environment Compatibility: Enables compatibility with various programming environments through standardized open formats.

Scientific Applications:

• High-resolution Mass Spectrometry Data Management: Addresses challenges of proprietary and open-source high-resolution mass spectrometry data formats.
• Ion Mobility Data Integration: Facilitates manipulation of ion mobility mass spectrometry data with additional analytical dimensions.
• Open-source Workflow Integration: Enables integration of converted data into efficient open-source analytical workflows.

Methodology:

arcMS uses functions to collect MSE data from Waters UNIFI software and store it in Apache Parquet format using the Arrow library for data access and filtration.
