Evaluation

If you wish to evaluate Mascot Distiller, send an email request to support@matrixscience.com for a product key that can be registered on-line to obtain a 30 day licence.

If you choose not to register, or don’t buy a permanent licence after the 30 day period expires, Distiller will run in viewer mode, allowing you to browse existing projects but not modify them or create new ones.

A Distiller project file is an ideal way to supply supporting data for a publication to a journal. Referees can use Distiller in free, viewer mode to drill down into every detail of peak lists, Mascot search results, and quantitation reports without needing access to the instrument data system or your in-house Mascot server. Beats printing out hundreds of annotated spectra.
