MetaQuant is a Java-based program for the automatic and accurate quantification of GC/MS-based metabolome data. In contrast to other programs MetaQuant is able to quantify hundreds of substances simultaneously with minimal manual intervention. The integration of a self-acting calibration function allows the parallel and fast calibration for several metabolites simultaneously. Finally, MetaQuant is able to import GC/MS data in the common NetCDF format and to export the results of the quantification into Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML), Comma Separated Values (CSV) or Microsoft Excel (XLS) format.
MetaQuant is written in Java and is available under an open source license. Precompiled packages for the installation on Windows or Linux operating systems are freely available for download. The source code as well as the installation packages are available at http://bioinformatics.org/metaquant
MetaQuant是一个基于Java的程序，用于对基于气相色谱/质谱联用仪（GC/MS）的代谢组数据进行自动且准确的定量分析。与其他程序不同，MetaQuant能够在最少人工干预的情况下同时对数百种物质进行定量分析。自动校准功能的集成允许同时对几种代谢物进行并行快速校准。最后，MetaQuant能够导入通用的NetCDF格式的GC/MS数据，并将定量分析结果导出为系统生物学标记语言（SBML）、逗号分隔值（CSV）或微软Excel（XLS）格式。
MetaQuant用Java编写，根据开源许可协议提供。可免费下载用于在Windows或Linux操作系统上安装的预编译包。源代码以及安装包可在http://bioinformatics.org/metaquant获取。
