Scannotation is an automated and user-friendly suspect screening tool for the rapid pre-annotation of LC-HRMS datasets. This software combines several MS1 chemical predictors: m/z, retention times, isotopic patterns and neutral loss patterns, to score the proximity between features and suspects, thus efficiently prioritizing compounds of interest.

Development

Scannotation was developed on Windows 10 and tested on both Windows and on a Mac computer in a Windows virtual machine.
