Convert Chemstation (GC) and Xcalibur (GC) to MassHunter

[gabrieljames]

Hi All,

I am getting started with datasets created on Thermo and Agilent GC/MS instruments.

We have users that want to work with their data in either Xcalibur or MassHunter.

Does anyone know of a good converter or the vendor software to handle:
a) Xcalibur .RAW to MassHunter
b) Chemstation .D to Xcalibur

Thanks in advance.

Do you have checked the export function of Xcalibur (I think the program was called Xconvert.exe)? If Xcalbur cannot export the MS-trace to the wished format, it may be possible to export the date to cdf-format and import the cdf-file from the other software. Export of Xcalibur-data can also be done using the XDK-Functions and some programming. I have recently done this for the cdf-export of LC-UV data, since export of UV-date was not supported by XCalibur. Sorry I don’t have access or experience with MassHunter software.
The export of GC/MS-Files from GC/MS-Chemstation to cdf-format should be possible. A long time ago I processed all of my Agilent GC/MS data with Empower-software (data was imported from cdf-format, if I remind correctly a conversion tool was build-in in Agilent GC/MS-Chemstation). Only the timebase was shifted from minutes to seconds. But this can also be adjusted by simply VisualBasic-tool.
