Thermo Scientific™ Pinpoint Software

Description

Pinpoint software is designed for developing targeted mass spectrometry methods, specifically for protein quantitation and verification studies. It assists researchers in transitioning from broad, discovery-phase proteomics to focused, quantitative assays. The software analyzes data from initial experiments to select optimal peptide sequences and predict the most effective Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) transitions for a given target. It includes tools for refining these methods by evaluating preliminary results, allowing users to build efficient intelligent SRM (iSRM) methods. This application is used in proteomics and biomarker research to create reliable, quantitative assays for validating protein candidates identified in earlier screening phases.
