Thermo Scientific™ Proteome Discoverer™ with CHIMERYS™ Full (DDA & DIA)

The Thermo Scientific™ Proteome Discoverer™ Software with CHIMERYS™ Full is a comprehensive, extensible, and intelligent proteomics data analysis platform designed to transform complex mass spectrometry datasets into meaningful biological insights. Supporting Data-Dependent Acquisition (DDA), Data-Independent Acquisition (DIA), and Wide Window Acquisition (WWA) workflows, it delivers robust protein identification, accurate quantification, and deep proteome coverage across a wide range of applications.

At the core of its advanced capabilities are CHIMERYS™ intelligent search algorithms and INFERYS™ rescoring, which significantly enhance the interpretation of complex and chimeric MS/MS spectra. These technologies enable researchers to identify more peptides, uncover low-abundance proteins, and confidently detect post-translational modifications (PTMs), even in highly complex biological samples.
