creation in the New
Experiment dialog box.
Experiment Selection Dialog dialog box
Available entry options for the New Experiment dialog box depend on your experiment type and data sources as outlined in Table 1and Table 2 on page 63.
a Type a descriptive name for the experiment in Experiment name. This entry may
be different from the project name previously entered.
b Select Mass Profiler Professional for the Analysis type to enable metabolomics
and proteomics analyses. Only your licensed analysis types are available.
c Select Unidentified for the Experiment type. Unidentified is the proper selection
when the compound features have only been identified by their neutral mass and
retention time using molecular feature extraction. The experiment type selection
determines how Mass Profiler Professional manages the data. Use Combined
(Identified + Unidentified) when you are unsure if the data is identified in full or in
part or when MassHunter Qualitative Analysis has been used previously to identify some of the compound features.
d Select Analysis: Significance Testing and Fold Change for the Workflow type.
When you select Analysis: Significance Testing and Fold Change the workflow
still takes you through the MS Experiment Creation Wizard first.
Regardless of your personal expertise, the Analysis: Significance Testing and Fold
Change workflow provides you with quality control to your analysis that improves
your results. You may customize the entire analysis at the conclusion of the Analysis: Significance Testing and Fold Change workflow.
e Type descriptive notes for the experiment in the Experiment notes.
f Click OK.
