We can divide Scaffold Software tools into two -omics subcategories: proteomics (both DDA and DIA) and small molecule analysis. Scaffold Elements identifies potential metabolites in raw mass spectrometry data as well as provides visualization, quantitation and statistical analysis. Scaffold DIA works in a similar manner but allows for identification and quantification of proteins from DIA experiments. We also have programs for the post-processing of popular proteomics search engines, including: Mascot, MaxQuant and Proteome Discoverer. With the release of Scaffold 5, raw data can be loaded into Scaffold thanks to an integration with MSFragger. Each one of our tools has a free viewer to aid in data sharing and collaboration.
