Workshop : Untargeted Exposomics
June 17th 2026, Bordeaux, France
June 17th 2026, Bordeaux, France
Objective : To inspect a single HRMS data file and its spectra
Instructions:
1) Download the test mzML files from this Zenodo Link https://zenodo.org/records/20703625/files/workshop_mzfiles.zip?download=1 . If internet is slow, download individual mzML files from this Zenodo accession https://zenodo.org/records/20703625
Unzip the file to location where you can easily find the files.
2) Open the IDSL mzML Studio App https://bloodexposome.org/mzml/ in three separate tabs
3) Import a single mzML file 1950_A_2_NEG_C18.mzML (NIST SRM 1950 Samples are from MSV000087018 . Locate the PFOS peak and check the MS/MS spectra and search against the IDSL Spectral Database
4) Repeat the same for Plasma_Suite_1_A_2_NEG_C18.mzML
5) Import the file Method3_Set134369_17_UPIT-03990.mzML (RP Negative mode from Metabolon HD4 platform)
6) Import the file Method4_Set134365_17_UPIT-03990.mzML (HILIC Negative mode from Metabolon HD4 platform)
Instructions:
1) Get the InchiKey for a compound
2) Go to https://bloodexposome.org/spectra_prediction/ and use inchikey as input
3) Get the SMILES code for a compound
4) Go to https://bloodexposome.org/spectra_prediction/ and use SMILES as input
Download the spectra txt file and see if you can spot the spectra in one of the example mzML files
