MS-Angel: an automated management of LC-MS acquisition files, and a direct link to Proline
Introduction to MS-Angel
The MS Angel software allows you to easily manage your acquisition files. It offers several levels of file processing, including:
- file conversions, from RAW and WIFF files;
- peaklists identifications using one or several search engines (Mascot fully supported, OMSSA is being integrated);
- import of identification results within Proline.
The design of workflows and tasks provides a high level of automation and control.
