Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What types of workflows can Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software support?

Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software supports both untargeted and targeted workflows. Untargeted workflows allow users to detect, align, and analyze compounds in a sample set, including unknowns. Targeted workflows allow users to define expected compounds using criteria such as mass and retention time for focused analysis. The software also includes customizable workflow options, allowing users to extend functionality through scripting tools and adapt workflows to specific research needs.

How does Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software support comparison of sample groups?

Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software includes statistical and visualization tools to help compare sample groups and identify meaningful differences. These include multivariate analysis methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and hierarchical clustering, along with visualization tools such as volcano plots. The software also allows users to filter compound results based on quality metrics and map identified compounds to biological pathways for additional context.

When should I use Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software for small-molecule analysis?

Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software is well suited for laboratories performing small-molecule analysis using high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) data, particularly when both expected and unknown compounds need to be characterized. It is commonly used in workflows such as metabolomics, environmental and food safety testing, impurity and metabolite identification, and forensic toxicology. It may be especially useful when laboratories need to combine targeted and untargeted analysis within a single workflow.
