Introducing CHIMERYS 4
The all-new intelligent search algorithm for proteomics

CHIMERYS 4:  A unifying, spectrum-centric search algorithm for proteomics

Chimerys-Logo-Rebranding_CMYK-byMSAID
  • Spectrum-centric & acquisition-method agnostic (DDA, PRM, DIA)

  • Supported PTMs: Oxidation, Phosphorylation, Acetylation, Ubiquitination, unmod. Cysteines, PreOmics iST NHS

  • More than twice as fast processing for DIA data

  • Integrated into MSAID Platform and Thermo Scientific™ Proteome Discoverer™ (PD)

Testimonials

"We have been highly impressed with CHIMERYS, which allows us to now quantify >3,000 proteins from single cells. We simply widen our isolation window in a DDA workflow and let CHIMERYS do the work of confidently assigning fragment ions to multiple peptides in each MS2 spectrum.”

Prof.Kelly

Ryan Kelly, PhD
BYU Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Provo, Utah, USA

"We are using the groundbreaking search algorithm CHIMERYS in our cutting edge single-cell proteomics platform to accurately and sensitively identify large number of peptides and proteins from our samples. CHIMERYS excites us by surpassing conventional search engines by a factor of 2.6 in terms of ID rate.”
