AMDIS Automated Mass Spectral Deconvolution and Identification System is a computer program that extracts spectra for individual components in a GC/MS data file and identifies target compounds by matching these spectra against a reference library.

MSFACTs is a custom software package for alignment of GC/MS and LC/MS data to allow visualization using commercial statistical packages.

COMSPARI is the acronym for COMparison of SPectral And Retention Information. It is a software that has been written to facilitate the analysis of "paired" samples, i.e. samples that are almost identical yet present some qualitative difference.

COWtool allows the possibility to align chromatograms without any peak detections by Correlation Optimised Warping (COW) relying on a few easy selected parameters. COWTool can furthermore be used to build a sample identification system directly from raw chromatogram using principle adapted from image analysis.

MZmine is a platform-independent software for data processing needed in differential analysis of LC/MS data, with applications in metabolomics and proteomics.

XCMS package for R reads and processes LC/MS data stored in NetCDF (AIA/ANDI), mzXML, and mzData files. It includes numerous options for visualizing and interacting with that data. In addition, it includes functionality for peak picking, non-linear retention time alignment, and relative quantitation. It is capable of simultaneously preprocessing, analyzing, and visualizing the raw data from hundreds of samples.
