Extract backpressure information from Aglient .d LC-MS data.

December 07, 2023, 09:51:02 AM

I'm currently trying to set up a script that should automatically check if the backpressure of my LC-MS runs is within the ok range and then send a warning email if the pressure increases (rather than waiting for the system to crash with an overpressure error). To this end, I would like to automatically extract the backpressure information from the recorded .d files. I've tried conversion of .d to .mzML using proteowizard/msconvert, but unfortunately the backpressure information is not contained in the output. Any ideas for how to solve this (preferrably in R) are most welcome.
Thanks for your help!
