iolite has always supported time-resolved data processing from a variety of instruments, including TIMS and solution ICP-MS. Its implementation of the double-spike inversion, which is an approach that calculates mass bias, mixture proportions, etc, sets it apart from most solution mass spectrometry software.

Sometimes when imaging we purposely leave space between spots to save time or maybe there is a gap in your image from an instrument glitch. In either case, the cell space image will contain regions of null data, and often we would like to replace those missing parts to make a better looking image.

Laser logs and mass spec sample metadata speed up the process of creating selections in iolite considerably. However, sometimes we want to further refine those selections for a variety of reasons.

iolite v4 now comes with a tool that helps you identify issues with your selections. Sometimes, errant selections can cause a DRS not to run properly, or result in many error messages.

Laser logs can save a lot of time when setting up selections in iolite. Rather than painstakingly reviewing each bit of data and assigning it to a selection/group, the time stamps in a laser log and the analysis annotations can be matched up with mass spec data to automate this process.

Masks have been part of iolite since the early days, but we still regularly get questions about them. In this note, we will take a look at what a mask is and why you might want to use one, the ways you can make one, and what it looks like when things go right (and wrong).
