           The primary purpose of this manual is as a user
           guide, including installation instructions. It

           the associated data formats.

      <para>
           There is also a section for MSQuant developers on how
           to contribute to the MSQuant source code, documentation
           and helper tools.

      <sect1><title>What is it?</title>
        <para>
           MSQuant is a tool for quantitative
           proteomics/mass spectrometry and processes
           spectra and LC runs to find quantitative
           information about proteins and peptides. Though
           automated it also allows manual inspection and
           change.
        </para>

        <para>MSQuant's main purpose is to make quantitation of
           proteins and peptides possible in the area of
           mass spectrometry/proteomics (science/analytical
           chemistry/molecular biology). E.g. an experiment
           where one heavy isotope-labelled sample from
           treated cells is compared to unlabelled,
           untreated cells to give quantitative answers
           about cellular processees. The input to MSQuant
           is a search result file (HTML) from the Mascot
           search engine (from

           <ulink url="http://www.matrixscience.com/">
            Matrix Science</ulink>
           )
           and one or more raw spectrum files.
        </para>

        <para>MSQuant is written in Microsoft's .NET and thus
          can only run on Windows computers that have the
          .NET runtime runtime installed. The runtime is installed
          by default in later versions of Windows.

      <!--  Note: quantation is not set to triple encoding, even though
            the data is triple labelled. Reason: triple encoding is not
            in the default set of quantitation modes. -->

        <para>
          This chapter shows how to get to work with MSQuant
          as fast as possible.

          A specific example for a particular instrument
          (QSTAR) is presented.
