A system is disclosed that is primarily meant to interface with laboratory instrumentation to acquire experimental data, process the data into a format suitable for electronic transmission, and finally transmit the experimental data to submitting persons. In the exemplary embodiment, a system is described to automatically acquire high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectra with a commercial Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer. Upon injection of each sample, an autosampler transmits a contact closure signal to mass spectrometer to initiate data acquisition. A software package is then used off-line to accept a sample list with input information for each of the samples. Then for each of the samples, the software automatically processes and interprets the acquired data. Finally, the system prints the spectra, peak lists, exact mass reports, and e-mails the exact-mass reports to the submitting persons.
