Hi,
I have been trying to use Lipidxplorer for the Precurson Ion and neutral loss scan data obtained from a Waters triple quadrupole instrument. I am new to Lipixplorer and have tried to read whatever is available online on Lipidxplorer. While importing data I get the following debugging message.

Importing Pos_184
Polarity or sample C:\Users\Prem Gupta\Documents\Lipidxplorer\Pos_184: 1
Importing Pos_184A
Polarity or sample C:\Users\Prem Gupta\Documents\Lipidxplorer\Pos_184A: 1
0.24 sec. for reading the spectra
0.00 sec. for calibrating the spectra
Aligning MS spectra linear
> Nb. of MS peaks (after alg.)..          0

Aligning MS/MS spectra linear

0.00 sec. for aligning the spectra

Save output to C:\Users\Prem Gupta\Documents\Lipidxplorer\Lipidxplorer.sc.
0.25 sec. for the whole import process




What could be the issue? Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Prem Gupta.

Hi,
I also wanted to add that I am checking MS Only as my spectra is in the form of parent ion masses and intensities. Is it possible to know generic triple quadrupole settings to begin? Then I can tweak as per my requirement.
Thanks,
Prem.

Dear Prem Gupta,

It looks like your import settings don't fit. Did you checkout this paper? There are some sentences about settings for quadrupol instruments.

I attached the settings file which we used for this paper. It contains a setting for a low resolution instrument (HCD_7500_7500).

However, I do not think that the resolution setting is the problem, but the time range and/or mass range setting. Check if this is correct.

Cheers,
Ronny

Thanks a lot Ronny for suggestions. I will look into these settings.
Prem.

Ronny,
Why do we use time setting if the .csv file does not contain any information about time? It contains just m/z and intensity. I am attaching two spectra. Is this a correct format? Tthis is a precursor ion scan m/z 184 for PC and LPC.
Thanks,
Prem Gupta.
Thanks,
Prem.

Dear Prem,

LipidXplorer does not support numbers formatted as a combination of exponents. You have to make sure that e.g. 5.12E+03 is written 5120.

Cheers,
Ronny
