Moving searches older than 2022 to cold storage

When you submit a free search on the public Mascot server, the search results are stored on the server for a certain time, but we don’t guarantee they will be kept indefinitely. In order to avoid running out of storage space, we are gradually moving some of the historic archive into cold storage.

In January 2024, we archived search results up to 1 Jan 2020. We have now moved all searches up to 1 Jan 2022 into cold storage. If you submitted a search before 1 Jan 2022 and would like to download a copy, please send us an e-mail and we can restore your search results.

The archival policy only affects Mascot running on our public website. If you have an in-house licence, the above policy does not apply.

New Mascot distributor in Europe: MS Wil B.V.

We are pleased to announce a new distributor for Matrix Science products!

Customers in Europe can now buy Mascot through MS Wil B.V., a one-stop-shop for fine mass spectrometry tools. MS Wil is selling new licences for Mascot Server and Mascot Distiller as well as updates and upgrades to existing licences.

The new distribution agreement means buying Mascot has never been easier: specify Mascot as part of your instrument package when buying through Bruker, Shimadzu, Thermo or Waters; order from MS Wil when stocking up on lab consumables; or buy direct from Matrix Science Ltd.

If you have an existing support contract, there is no change to your support status. Licences bought through European distributors and marketing partners continue to supported directly by Mascot developers based in the UK.
