Dear Researchers,
I did the Gas chromatography mass spectrometery ( GC-MS) by using Agilent instrument, and now the Agilent software is not working in my computer, so any other easily available software to do data analysis for GC-MS?
Can you please share the software with downloading link, and how to use
Thanks
Hafiz. Probly you have a new computer and "old" chemstation (?). The best is to install a virtualbox software on your computer - inside install a windows xp and there your chemstation. I've used this approach many times.
Regards

@Mila Illieva - the only thing that you write in answers is that the question is interesting! Don't do it!
Try AMDIS. You can download it and use without any licensing fees. I recently got some training on this from my colleague.
AMDIS offers also a deconvolution algorithm, so you can try do perform identyfication and quantification of partially nor resolved peaks.
Grzegorz Boczkaj Navid J. Ayon i have installed the ADMIS ,but its not opening the Agilent files ( .D) so how can convert that .D files in CDF ? or can ADMIS open and work for .D files?
and it also have no Library and i have installed the NIST but still not working
so any suggestions?
From your question what I understood is Agilent Chemstation software was working with your existing PC but now currently it is not working. If that is the case, I strongly feel the problem is with your computer . Try to install the software and NIST library in another PC and check the communication . I hope you have the Agilent software backup. You can take the help of Agilent service engineer .
OpenChrom has a neat user-interface : https://openchrom.net/
AMDIS does read (.D files) make sure you are loading the whole .D folder
What do you mean by installed NIST? on AMDIS? #confused
Remember that the NIST search on Chemstation requires NIST MS Search (its a tiny software that does the searching).
Hope that helps!
Dear Hafiz,
AMDIS works with agilent *.D subdirectories (folder) not files.
When you download AMDIS install the short library NIST that they have fro free.
AMDIS is for deconvolution of GC/MS files against a library.
It did not do the same things that you are custom to do with the chemstation.
If you have the Agilent software install it in another PC. Is the version that you have is old, installed in a virtual machine of 32bits. XP it is a go one.
If you have 7pro or 10 pro they already have a virtual machine inside. You only have to habitabilitate that option even if it is 64bits.

You can use abfconverter to convert the files.
We use MetaboAnalyst to access a library. We obtained it from our proteomics training center. One of my colleague is better at this. I will either copy him here or ask him for more information. I mostly do proteomics with Q-ToF and targeted metabolomics with triple quad. Just started on untargeted metabolomics and some GC-MS. So, I am sorry I dont have much more information at this point.
Fabrizio Araniti i have searched about the Ms dial but there are different software with different descriptions so could you please send me the link of the software you used for conversion so that i will download
Navid J. Ayon Thanks for your comments
I will try that converter,
and if any problem i will ask
Stephanie Colon-Santos Thanks for your nice sharing,
But I am still facing a problem, as I have downloaded the open chrome from the link you mentioned, but it's not opening .d Files
and there are three options for files such as (msd, csd and wsd ) so whats that means? are all the same or whats differenecs?
Depending in your version of Chemstation .d could be a sub folder or and extension of the file. check in your version of chemstation how it call the files.
Regarding the extension mds is for use with AMDIS
