Installation of MassHunterRequired for converting WIFF files into MHD files • MassHunter requires .NET version 2.0 • http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en • MassHunter requires “AnalystQS” to be installed • Most Agilent and ABI TOF workstations already have this • Installer for AnylstQS is provided on DVD • F:\INSTALLATION\AnalystQS\Setup.exe • “Install” MassHunter by simply copying the complete folder “MassHunter (MFE31)” to your local hard disk
Installation of GeneSpring MS 1.0 BETA • Need at least 1 GB of memory, 2 GB is recommended • For training, need at least 2 GB of disk space • MHD files are ~50-100 MB a piece
Installation of GeneSpring MS 1.0 BETA • Run installer – setupGeneSpringMS-1.0.xx-win32.exe • Run GeneSpring MS 1.0 • Copy/Paste the contents of the file “LicenseKey.txt” into Enter License window
Installation of GeneSpring MS 1.0 BETA • GeneSpring Splash Screen
Start GeneSpring – First HurdleChoose “MassProfiler Example Data” as starting exp.
TOF Experimental design • E. coli protein abstract spiked in with two Bovine proteins • Serotransferin • BSA • 18 Samples: • Three different concentrations, 3 injections, two different days 1100 HPLC + TOF MS
Mass Hunter, the Feature Extractor of the MS world • Mass Hunter was used to extract the molecular features • Each peptide was “collapsed” from the multiply charged ions and isotopes into one measurement represented by a Rentention Time (RT) and a single, neutral mass • This functionality will be part of the MassHunter Workstation software for the QTOF, but current TOF users need to install MassHunter separately
MassHunter processes WIFF filesExtraction Parameters and Display Filters Most settings are fine in defaults, except for peptidic setting Use these if the sample is protein. Uncheck for metabolites
WIFF files directory will contain the MHD filesand some Excel files with similar information
GeneSpring MS Main Window – Load MHD Drag-n-Drop very common UI in GeneSpring
Alignment Parameter Settings – Controls which features are aligned
Results window of the alignment is RT vs Mass plot Number of masses found If everything looks OK, continue Allows for refining the alignment parameters
New Experiment Check listOnly first three are relevant (No error model in V 1.0)
Normalization windowEdit the “Per Run: Normalize to 50th Percentile” step
Set the “Use only measurements flagged” to“Anything but Absent”
Experiment Parameters determine the “Grouping” of your samples
We’ll add Four Parameters;Group, Day, BSA and Serotransferrin
Excel file “E. coli Spike-in – Experiment Parameters.xls”Copy paste into
Experiment Parameters in the “How to Display Parameters” Window
Experimental setup – Group and Day determine thisSet Group and Day as Non-continuous parameters
Group replicate injections by selecting Group as Continuous and Day as Non-continuous Parameter
Switch between the two views by selecting the Interpretation in the Navigator
Group all replicates together by selecting Group as the only continuous parameter
More fun with InterpretationsPlot BSA or Serotransferrin concentration vs. Expression
Each block corresponds to one SampleGroup C similar to Group A
