Trained on the world’s largest quantitative mass spec dataset and built upon our Large Spectral Model (LSM), PyxisTM deep-learns how to map raw mass spec data to absolute concentrations. Harnessing a set of universal calibrants called StandardCandlesTM, Pyxis produces untargeted absolute quantitative results in minutes, without expertise or manual data processing.
What Makes Pyxis Unique
Untargeted: ability to broadly identify and quantify as many features as possible from raw untargeted data
Quantitative: absolute quantitation makes it possible to compare data across samples, experiments, studies, and even across laboratories
Fast: results allow for decision as soon as data acquisition is complete
Automated: no need for PhD-level expertise to manually curate features and analyze data
Scalable: a small set of universal methods and standards replaces laborious method development and calibrations that yield limited analytical coverage
Reproducible: a single sample preparation kit and software pipeline to ensure uniformity and standardization
Web Application
Fast & Automated Data Processing: Our cloudbased application streamlines data workflows with rapid, automated processing
Secure Infrastructure: Secure data storage and transfer
Scalable Sample Handling: Analyze up to 384 samples in under 15 minutes
