Examples & live data

A public, browsable corpus of real mzPeak files — converted from open datasets across vendors, instruments, and modalities — is hosted for anyone to explore.

Browse the corpus

  • Example data index ↗ — hundreds of .mzpeak files alongside their originals, organized by type:
    • Imaging MS (MSI) — imzML datasets with per-pixel spatial coordinates + optical images
    • Mass spectrometry — LC-/GC-MS across six vendors and every major analyzer class
    • SDRF / ISA sample metadata — studies shipping their sample-annotation alongside the data

Every .mzpeak opens directly in a browser viewer over HTTP range requests — no download.

Open one in a viewer

From the index, click ▶ View on any file — the mzPeak Viewer streams it in place, whether it's a regular LC-/GC-MS run or an imaging (MSI) dataset.

Try it right here

The viewer below is the mzPeak Viewer, running entirely in your browser. Click Open demo to load a real run, or drop any .mzpeak file from the corpus onto it — the file is read in place over HTTP range requests and never leaves your machine.

Why it's compact

Across the benchmark corpus, mzPeak files are consistently a fraction of the source mzML size (roughly 0.1–0.6×), losslessly — the payoff of columnar Parquet storage. See the per-instrument numbers on the home page.

A worked imaging example

The mouse urinary-bladder MS-imaging dataset reconstructs tissue anatomy label-free from lipid ion images. Loaded in the mzPeak Viewer and assigned to RGB channels, three masses separate the bladder-wall layers — urothelium, lamina propria, and muscle — straight from an mzPeak file in the browser.
