Loading Data

To load raw data into MassDash, a loader object must be initiated. There are two types of loader classes

  1. Chromatogram Loaders: Chromatogram Loaders: Raw data stores chromatograms, this allows for faster loading however since extraction has already been performed by the upstream analysis tool. This includes SqMassLoader

  2. Spectrum Loaders: These data types are slower to load however it leads to more customization since raw data can be extracted on the fly and parameters such as ion mobility, m/z or retention time extraction window can be adjusted. This includes MzMLDataLoader

Click below for more information on each loader type:

Since each loader type is linked with a results file each loader can be used to extract information on the features the DIA algorithms found. For more information on extracting features, here
