MassHunter Explorer Normalization

Beyond the Log2 transformation does MH Explorer do any normalization behind the scenes that accounts for different cell counts (like correcting for total TIC abundance)? How is normalization using something like cell count, protein amount or urine creatinine dealt with in Explorer?

  • Thanks. I tried taking the Explorer PFA export into MPP but for some reason it would not recognize data files belonging to the same group as bioreplicates so would not do any statistics. I am going back to the old Profinder to MPP workflow. Explorer is nice but without being able to normalize using such things as protein level it is not much use unless pre-normalization is implemented during the sample prep.
