UME
- is an open access browser-based tool providing a complete high resolution mass spectrometric data pipeline
- provides a molecular formula algorithm, allows interactive exploration of data, provides many state-of-the-art evaluation parameters and the export of resulting data and figures.
- comprises an online interface to the chemical database PubChem to facilitate exploration of potential molecular structures
- simply requires a calibrated mass list and referring mass peak intensities that can be derived from Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotron, Obitrap and Time-of-Flight mass spectrometers

The first version of UME is online and up to five ports can be used freely!
Data will not be saved and automatically deleted after the session has ended.
Please keep in mind when using UME: the goal of UME computing is not to create a dataset with unambiguous formula assignments, but to support data exploration through interactivity. Any selection of formula library and filter settings must be justified.
UltraMassExplorer is a free software that may be distributed and / or modified under the terms of the general public GNU Affero License, Version 3, as published by the Free Software Foundation.
UltraMassExplorer is offered in the hope of improving the efficiency and transparency of data analysis in the field of high-resolution mass spectrometry on complex samples. Any warranty is excluded. For more information, see the GNU Affero General Public License.
UltraMassExplorer does not store data. This applies to uploaded peak lists and any results of the evaluation. After each evaluation all data of the session will be deleted.
To improve the transparency and reproducibility of the evaluation, we recommend UltraMassExplorer users to include the peak list and the UME report file in publications. Both can be exported in UME after the final data evaluation.
