The Analyze non-targeted algorithm extracts compound features from each sample and aligns them across the sample set by accurate mass and retention time.
Non-Targeted Analysis Software for LC/QTOF Data
LabSolutions Insight Profiler is a unified, end-to-end workflow for LC/QTOF data processing — with a "single-click" approach. Insight Profiler is purpose-built for non-targeted analysis in suspect screening, unknown identification, and metabolomics across complex sample sets.
Traditionally, untargeted LC/QTOF workflows demanded sequential processing across multiple platforms. This software consolidates that entire pipeline into a single configurable method. Load your data, set your parameters once, and a single click drives automated feature detection, alignment, large-scale suspect screening against MS/MS libraries, PCA, loadings plots, and volcano plots — with results comparable to the multi-platform workflow obtained in a fraction of the time. Pre-built method templates accommodate both new and experienced analysts, supporting applications across toxicology, food safety, extractables and leachables, and metabolomics-based biomarker discovery.

The Analyze non-targeted algorithm extracts compound features from each sample and aligns them across the sample set by accurate mass and retention time.

Integrated statistical tools — t-test, fold-change analysis, PCA scores and loading plots, volcano plots, and box plots — identify components that are shared or significantly different across sample groups.

Suspect screening hits and statistically significant compounds are identifiable against curated Shimadzu and public MS /MS libraries.
Profiler processing methods can be predefined for specific workflows — whether suspect screening or metabolomics — enabling both new and advanced users to generate results quickly with a single click. Each processing method includes optimized settings for its intended application, creating a streamlined platform for processing complex data sets.

From environmental and forensic toxicology screening to extractables and leachables and metabolomics-based biomarker discovery, Insight Profiler's single-click processing methods bring the full power of untargeted LC/QTOF analysis within reach of any laboratory.
