timsCompare v1.3 has a few new functionalities:
- a new report wizard that allows batch exports and comparison reports
- segment comparison mode
- session management to revisit a comparison later without the raw data
- "remove all" button
- better AIP support
- better UI scaling for smaller displays

I just pushed an update to the timsCompare GitHub.
- compiled with Nuitka preventing false-flagging by AV software
- startup parameters can now be customized
- plots can now be resized to the measured mass range
- extraction of used instrument and used timsControl version

Very happy to hear that! It should be quite stable for "standard" proteomics methods. Can be a bit trickier for stepping or multi-segment methods, but even these should work as far as I have tested

I sure hope that there wont be too many, haha. But I you encounter some, please report them! Happy testing :)

Yes, that should be unnecessary now!

What things did you adapt via notepad++? The polygon for dda measurements?

Thank you! Yes, also TME only works for same instrument type. timsCompare works instrument independent! Can also be a great tool to recover a dia-PASEF scheme from a PRIDE repository for example.

Need to document your method for a publication or lab notebook? timsCompare generates professional, multi-page PDF reports with high-quality plots and neatly organized parameter tables. CSV export is also supported for easy data handling.

Visualize acquisition schemes for PASEF, dia-PASEF, and diagonal-PASEF methods. You can easily export these window schemes directly from your raw data into a simple text file for documentation. The exported text file can also be read directly by timsControl.

Simply drag & drop your .d or .m folders. timsCompare instantly gives you a side-by-side parameter comparison. Any differences between methods are automatically highlighted, so you can spot changes at a glance.

Struggling to compare Bruker timsTOF methods or extract window schemes from raw .d files? I developed a free desktop tool to solve this: timsCompare! πŸš€

It automates the manual work of extracting method parameters, presenting them in a structured and comparable view.

Hi Dorothy, do you mean the valve plumbing or the method setup? I guess you plan to make a calibration segment at the start of each run for external calibration?

Both options are usable. For SN only directDIA is available, while TIMS DIANN uses a library-based approach

I think it's very hard to make a fair comparison between instruments. There are just too many variables

@brukercorporation.bsky.socialβ€˜s latest app note highlights that ultra-high-throughput proteomics doesn’t have to compromise depth or quality.

Pairing a timsTOF HT with an Aurora Rapid 5x75 column, researchers ID over 7,200 protein groups & 85,658 precursors in 5 mins.

#teamMassSpec here is a starting pack in case you just moved over, or in case you've been absent for a while. This is #proteomics or #massspec related. The pack is not comprehensive but it's a start.

Hi #TeamMassSpec, πŸ‘‹ good to see everyone on πŸ¦‹ side. I am still looking for a PhD-level immunopeptidomics intern for summer 2025 with expected graduation by summer 2026. If you know of any good labs to check with, please let me know! Bruker timsTOF experience is a big plus.
