Platform-Independent Search Algorithm for Mass Spectrometry

Reliable LC-MS/MS libraries and search algorithms had been considered impossible until Wiley, working with the Oberacher Group, created MSforID—a complete search and library building software development kit (SDK) for LC-MS/MS. MSforID has been proven accurate in clinical settings:

• >95% Specificity
• <0.7% False negative
• 97.5% True positive
