What people are saying about MassWorks
"The ability to provide the elemental identification of unknown compounds on a routine basis by any scientist is now within one's reach."

"Congratulations!! Once more I are am deeply impressed by sClips. In both cases you are right with the top no. 1 [formula]!! Additionally, I find it fantastic that you do not need a calibration standard for higher resolving mass specs, by “just” looking at the isotope signals."

"With PFTBA calibration performed to each GC/MS run, mass accuracy better than 10mDa can be achieved and Spectral Accuracy of better than 99% can be achieved to help attain reliable formula determination. The mass calibration is stable after 11 days without significantly compromising formula determination. While mass calibration is more susceptible to time related variations, the Spectral Accuracy has been shown to be robust enough for formula determination after 19 days."

"The program is very easy to learn, it literally took minutes to get the first exciting results. On our 10 year-old triple quad, we manage to achieve mass accuracies of 10ppm or better routinely. It has become an integral part of our characterization pipeline for newly synthesized compounds."

"The use of exact isotope modeling [with MassWorks] is key to unique formula ID [with FT-ICR] and profile mode peakshape calibration is needed to achieve the required Spectral Accuracy."

"Determining the elemental composition of pure materials at modest resolution typical of quads has never been routinely practiced – CLIPS brings that task very close to practice for the general user. It is not too much of a stretch to suggest CLIPS will enhance the confidence of TOF-based assignments as well, which may even challenge slower FTMS-based determinations."

"The accurate mass profile extract ion chromatogram (AMPXIC) obtained through
accurate mass measurement and isotope profile-mode filtering [performed with MassWorks] eliminated the false positive
peaks observed using conventional XIC in the metabolite profile."

"I have tested and used the MassWorks software since the summer of 2007. The main
purpose for me is using its formula ID feature to confirm the GC/MS NIST library
search results for unknown chemical substance identification especially when the [NIST] search
match values are similar for more than one compounds.
The software is relatively simple to use and most times provides the #1 match for our
testing chemicals with more than 200 compounds in a variety of chemical groups."

"Starting a little bit "speechless" from our side your Presentation helped really changing our mindset,
from "unbelieving"
into "believer".
After this Test with an sample taken from real life with real interferences my colleagues and I fully agree that MassWorks is indeed a powerful tool for advanced GC/MS analysis. We found that MassWorks is really a "must have" product for us..."
