OpenChrom is free extensible (via plug-ins) open-source chromatography and mass spectrometry software designed to natively handle mass spectrometry system data files.[3]
Product history
OpenChrom was created to resolve the constraints of accessing, managing, and representing mass spectral data (as well as accessing the algorithms used to process the data) from propriety closed systems, typically limited to certain software platforms.[4] Version 0.1.0, the first public release, became available on April 12, 2010.[1] In August, OpenChrom won additional funds to continue development via the Thomas Krenn Open Source Förderung competition.[5] OpenChrom won another award on March 21, 2011, in the form of The Eclipse Foundation's award for "Best RCP Application."[6]
As of January 2024, it's not clear if source code is still being released in a versioned format. The last tagged/versioned source code on SourceForge is 1.3.0 and on GitHub is 1.1.0. The main website indicates there's a 1.5.0 version of the source code, but this doesn't appear on either SourceForge or GitHub. The Wikipedia page also seems to indicate there's a 1.5.0 release, as well as a 1.4.0 release, but it fails to cite any sources for those releases and associated release dates.
