- Proteomics software is prone to filling up the disk with data and temp files, which can cause weird issues. This blog article lists the most common errors in Mascot products and how to free up disk space.https://www.matrixscience.com/blog/strange-software-failures-check-your-disk-space.html#proteomics #massspec

- After a fair bit of frustration, our new excimer laser is installed! We have it coupled to an Element 2, and new laser plus sector magnet (rather than quadupole) mass spectrometry is a steep learning curve for me. Nice to spend the afternoon tinkering in the lab though.#LAICPMS #MassSpec #MPIC
- When raw data is processed into peak lists, there is a choice: how should peak intensity be calculated? Mascot Distiller defaults to peak area. The alternative, signal-to-noise (S/N), can be useful with detecting diagnostic ions.#proteomics #massspechttps://www.matrixscience.com/blog/peak-list-arcana-area-vs-signal-to-noise.html
