Protein identification

Mascot Server is the trusted reference standard for protein identification by mass spectrometry for 25 years. Mascot is designed for high throughput, and has no limits on the number of users, the size of the searches or the size of sequence databases. It continues to be cited by over 2000 publications every year.

Mascot Distiller is a vendor independent application for identifying and quantifying proteins using Mascot database searching. It offers a single, intuitive interface to native ("raw") mass spectrometry data files for DIA, DDA and PMF analysis.

Protein quantitation

Mascot Distiller supports a range of MS1 and MS2 quantitation methods for both DIA and DDA, such as label-free (LFQ), SILAC, 18O and metabolic labelling. Process raw files from Agilent, Bruker, SCIEX, Shimadzu, Thermo and Waters.

Mascot Server includes native support for TMT/iTRAQ quantitation.

Batch automation

Mascot Daemon is a batch automation utility, bundled with Mascot Server. In combination with Mascot Distiller, every step of a quantitation experiment can be fully automated.

Mascot Parser provides an API (Application Programmer Interface) to Mascot Server result files and Mascot Distiller project files, suitable for implementing your own system integrations and pipelining.
