Hello Arpita,

Thanks for your question.  Conversion from RAW happens with the help of Thermo dll libraries which only function on windows.  To process proteomics data with TPP on a Mac you have to start with mzML or mzXML data and convert the data on another computer.

Best,
David

Sorry to disturb you but can I know why is it not possible on Mac? Why does Thermo libraries work in windows only? Is there any other solution ?
Best regards

Hello Arpita,

Unfortunately, DLL files are Windows specific and do not function on Mac.  Whether or not Thermo is planning on providing RAW data access libraries that function on Mac is a question for Thermo, but I suspect this is not a top priority for most customers.  I hope you are able to convert your data to open formats on another computer and then continue using the TPP on your Mac.

Best,
-David

Hi, you can convert the raw data to mzML on any computer that runs docker. E.g. I use this strategy to convert Thermo files on a Linux System. The chambm container simulates a Windows system and contains the necessary vendor libraries. My command looks like this from the command line:

docker run -it -v /home/antix/Downloads/ThermoDDA:/data chambm/pwiz-skyline-i-agree-to-the-vendor-licenses wine msconvert /data/*.raw

Best, Robert

Hi there!

I have not been able to make pwiz-docker run in a mac computer (at least with M-series macs) but was able to use thermorawfileparser.
LMK if either of those options work for you!

Best
