Quanto pre-release
Fast quantitation for chromatography and mass spectrometry. Batch review, chromatograms, calibrations, and Excel-like reporting — without the wait.
Project goals
Insane speed
Full analyze large batches in 1–2 seconds depending on the number of cores and disk speed. Calibrate and Quantitate in less than 500 ms after manual integration.
Highly configurable
Methods, grids, reports and workflows adapt to your lab — without fighting the software.
Features
Single- and triple-quad instruments
Built for SQ and QQQ workflows in one product.
Data loaders
SCIEX, ChemStation (native — no translation step), and Agilent MassHunter. More can be added through add-ins.
Integrators
Fast, performant native Quanto integrator. More can be added through add-ins — an AI integrator is planned.
Copy & paste integration
Copy peak integration and paste it onto multiple charts in one go.
Methods
Import from vendors, batch, method, data, or create manually — and more. Extra sources can be added through add-ins.
Batch recalculation in under 200 ms
E.g. a pesticides method with ~100 samples and ~500 analytes. After you manually integrate a calibrator or ISTD, the whole batch updates automatically.
Multi-standard calibration
Methods with hundreds of compounds across several bottles and dose levels, sharing the same ISTD — one coherent calibration instead of awkward workarounds.
Multiple curve fits per analyte
E.g. a curve on the 3 lowest doses and one on all 5 — Quanto automatically picks the result from the curve where the response fits best within the curve.
Mixed acquisition methods
Combine acquisitions in one batch — e.g. dioxins with PCBs, or the full IFRA Allergens workflow across polar/apolar and SIM sets.
Multi-dilution
Samples at several dilution factors in one review — Quanto picks the best peak that falls within the calibration range and is least diluted.
Best qualifier as quantifier
Treat every qualifier as a quantifier with its own calibration curve, then automatically pick the lowest peak that still meets the qualifier limits.
Recovery & reporting limits
Set recovery limits and reporting limits per matrix and analyte — or import them per sample and analyte.
Excel-like review & reporting
500+ Excel-like functions plus special Q.* functions to reach Quant data and show analyte chromatograms and calibration curves. Dynamic arrays and custom lambda functions included.
Batch workspace
Samples, analytes, signals and peaks with dockable panels and thumbnail chromatograms.
Define Import / Report / Export
Automate workbook workflows from the designer ribbon.
