Case studies from customers involved in bioinformatics researchNo.PC-11212After reading the article, they came to us for advice on which workstation to use for mass spectrometry data analysis.
We plan to mainly use Agilent's Mass Hunter and Mass Profiler Professional, with a budget of around 100 to 150 million yen.
Additionally, the use of MS-DIAL, MS-Finder, SIMCA, and multi-omics analysis packages is also anticipated, and in the future, a configuration that can handle integrated analysis with RNA-Seq analysis data is desired.
Based on No. PC-11212, we have received a request with the following conditions.
OS: Windows only
Memory: 128GB or more
CPU: Number of cores is important within budget
Storage configuration is as per example
Wi-Fi functionality is also required

Considering the above requirements and the request for "emphasis on number of cores", this configurationXeon W7-3565X 32 cores 64 threadsと256GB memoryIt has sufficient processing power and future memory expandability.
Wi-FiThe wolf pack,Large storage capacityEquipped with a wide range of equipment, it is ideal for university and corporate laboratories.A system suited to a variety of sitesis finished.
Performance design suitable for large-scale analysis
In analyses that require high computational loads and handle large amounts of data, such as mass spectrometry and RNA-Seq,The balance between CPU performance and memory capacity is important.
High CPU performance allows complex calculations to be completed in a short amount of time, and sufficient memory capacity allows parallel processing while holding a large amount of data.
*In fields that handle large amounts of data, such as bioinformatics and machine learning, memory capacities of 128GB to 256GB are increasingly being chosen. (As of June 2025)
Equipped with a 32-core high-performance CPU and 256GB memory, it is suitable for large-scale analysis.Achieve stable processing and efficient work progressTo do.
It is designed to be flexible enough to handle the different computational loads imposed by each analysis software, such as multivariate analysis tools such as SIMCA and omics integrated analysis with RNA-Seq data.
The stable operating environment allows you to use it with peace of mind in your daily research.

Keyword[Phase 1: Data acquisition and preprocessing] ・What is Mass Hunter? Gaussian is a computational chemistry software developed by Gaussian in the United States.
・What is MS-DIAL? It imports data from LC-MS, GC-MS, etc., and performs peak detection, noise removal, and quantitative analysis. [Phase 2: Structural analysis] What is MS-Finder? Free structural analysis software to estimate compound structures from MS/MS spectra based on peak lists and spectrum information extracted by MS-DIAL. [Phase 3: Multivariate analysis and statistical processing] ・What is Mass Profiler Professional? Statistical analyses such as biomarker discovery and intergroup comparisons were performed based on the quantitative data processed by Mass Hunter.
・What is SIMCA? Using quantitative data obtained from MS-DIAL and other software, visual multivariate analysis such as PCA and PLS is performed.
[Phase 4: Integrated analysis/visualization] ・What is the multi-omics analysis package? Mass spectrometry data is integrated with other omics information such as RNA-Seq and visualized as metabolic pathways and networks. |
