Hi! Geert When I asked the same question this February, Gavin kindly suggested the use of a proteowizard tool, msconvert that extracts positive and negative MS1 scans separately. I have tried to use the msconvert tool. Just type msconvert without any additional texts in the Windows command prompt. You can see the usages and examples for msconvert.. After several trials I could successfully get the data separately. A successful text is: msconvert thermo.raw -o destination_directory --outfile file_name --filter "polarity positive" --filter "msLevel 1" To keep MS^n scans in the output, type as follows: msconvert thermo.raw -o destination_directory --outfile file_name --filter "polarity positive" Note: In the option --outfile, a previous file is overwritten by a new file without any caution.
When msconvert sometimes ignores a filter of multiple filters used, MZmine 2 could not open the resultant file and an popup "Error parsing maML: java.lang.NullPointerException (null:-1)" was shown. But, OpenMS could open the same file. I guess that OpenMS would not strictly follow the mzML convention????
