Abstract

The software package AMDIS performs GC-MS peak deconvolution, but tends to produce false positives and leaves missing values where peaks are found in only a proportion of a set of chromatograms. We have developed a software complement to AMDIS that (a) allows rapid manual inspection of chromatographic peaks across all samples, to confirm data quality; and (b) for a given sample set, integrates peak areas across all samples, even where AMDIS deconvolution would leave missing values. The software is a freely available package that runs within the commercial Matlab environment, and is useful for metabolomics and other situations where GC-MS is used to profile many peaks from complex mixtures.
