Mascot Daemon

Most of the functionality of Mascot is visible through our web site. One component that cannot be seen is the automation client: Mascot Daemon. This is a 32 bit Windows application, bundled with Mascot, that can be used for batch searching and other automation tasks.

Mascot Cluster

Mascot Cluster is our turn-key software and hardware solution for high throughput protein identification.

Mascot IntegraNew

Mascot Integra is a complete solution for managing and automating proteomics research. It will scale to the largest projects, yet has a very affordable entry level, making it a practical choice for laboratories of all sizes.

Mascot Parser

Mascot Parser is a toolkit providing an object oriented interface to Mascot result files. Mascot Parser makes it easy for programs written in C++, Java or Perl to access Mascot results.

Mascot Distiller

Mascot Distiller offers a single, intuitive interface to mass spectrometry data files from Agilent, Applied Biosystems, Bruker, MDS Sciex, Shimadzu, Thermo, and Waters. A unique algorithm, which fits each peak to a calculated isotope distribution, processes the raw data into high quality, de-isotoped peak lists. Optional toolboxes support Mascot search result review, automatic and manual de novo sequencing, and batch processing. There is also a developer's package that provides access to the API of the underlying COM library.

Mascot WizardNew

Mascot Wizard is a simple desktop tool that provides a drag and drop interface for submitting peptide mass fingerprint searches to a Mascot server. Internally, it uses the Mascot Distiller libraries to process raw data files into high quality peak lists.
