Pyxis

Pyxis is a software for ion mobility mass spectrometry imaging (IMS-MSI), that supports both untargeted and targeted data analysis, distributed as desktop application.  

The workflow supported by Pyxis covers all the steps required for IMS-MSI data analysis: raw data processing, histological coregistration, image and mobilogram visualization, statistical analysis and automated metabolites identification.
