2024-03-01: We are currently experiencing issues with low sensitivity for crosslink (CRIMP2) searches on systems larger than 5000 proteins. The software still performs well on small-medium size systems. We are working on a fix which will be announced in the "Annoucements" section on the Start Page of Mass Spec Studio once it's publicly available.


Latest stable version (2.4.0.3606):

 I agree, download Mass Spec Studio


Installation:

  1. Install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1. For detailed instructions, visit this link.
  2. [Optional] Install MSFileReader 3.1 SP2 if you wish to use Thermo RAW files. You will need to create an account if you don't have one. Important: SP3 and SP4 are not officially supported. If the software fails to read Thermo .RAW files, please check that you have MSFileReader 3.1 SP2 installed.
  3. [Optional] Install the latest version of Java 64-bit. This is required for some external tools (MS-GF+ and Percolator) used in CLEAN and HX-PIPE.
  4. Run setup.exe. If you run the .msi directly, it will skip the check for additional system requirements. See below for more info.
  5. During installation, you may be prompted to also install multiple "Visual C++ Redistributable 20XX" versions (2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2015+), if they are not already on your system. These pre-requisites are needed to make vendor software and other dependencies work. If you wish to install them manually, visit this link.
