Originally developed for ophthalmic applications, Toptica's FemtoFiber vario 1030 microjoule fiber laser - with a center wavelength of 1030 nm - can be used in many other areas, ranging from micromachining and materials processing to the life sciences. The WP Raman spectrometer series is available in multiple wavelengths with configuration options for resolution, range, optical coupling, and detector cooling. Ibsen Photonics has upgraded the OEM electronics for its spectrometers and unveiled a fast, compact digital image sensor board (DISB) with a USB bridge board. [Extracted from the article]

Summary: We introduce an open-source software, LIQUID, for semi-automated processing and visualization of LC-MS/MS-based lipidomics data. LIQUID provides users with the capability to process high throughput data and contains a customizable target library and scoring model per project needs. The graphical user interface provides visualization of multiple lines of spectral evidence for each lipid identification, allowing rapid examination of data for making confident identifications of lipid molecular species. LIQUID was compared to other freely available software commonly used to identify lipids and other small molecules (e.g. CFM-ID, MetFrag, GNPS, LipidBlast and MS-DIAL), and was found to have a faster processing time to arrive at a higher number of validated lipid identifications.

Motivation: The determination of absolute quantities of proteins in biological samples is necessary for multiple types of scientific inquiry. While relative quantification has been commonly used in proteomics, few proteomic datasets measuring absolute protein quantities have been reported to date. Various technologies have been applied using different types of input data, e.g. ion intensities or spectral counts, as well as different absolute normalization strategies. To date, a user-friendly and transparent software supporting large-scale absolute protein quantification has been lacking.Results: We present a bioinformatics tool, termed aLFQ, which supports the commonly used absolute label-free protein abundance estimation methods (TopN, iBAQ, APEX, NSAF and SCAMPI) for LC-MS/MS proteomics data, together with validation algorithms enabling automated data analysis and error estimation.Availability and implementation: aLFQ is written in R and freely available under the GPLv3 from CRAN (http://www.cran.r-project.org). Instructions and example data are provided in the R-package. The raw data can be obtained from the PeptideAtlas raw data repository (PASS00321).Contact: lars.malmstroem@imsb.biol.ethz.chSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
