No matter if it’s pharma, specialty chemicals or perfume – they all face the same challenge: identifying unknown substances. The question “Which molecules are in my sample?” spans all of chemistry. GC-MS devices help, but produce complex spectrometric data, which can only be interpreted manually by experts – a slow and costly process. ChemInnovation develops chemically inspired AI and cheminformatics algorithms to automate this. Their product METIS, developed at the University of Münster, analyzes GC-MS data fully automatically in under 5 minutes, improving speed 5–20× and increasing identification rates by 50–200% – while needing less expertise and delivering high-quality results across a wide range of applications.
