Mass-spectrometry toolkit · rebuilt for 2026

Exact masses for glycans, glycopeptides & glycoproteins.

Enter a sequence and a glycan composition — get the monoisotopic and most-abundant m/z, the molecular formula, and a fully interactive isotope spectrum. No spreadsheets, no guesswork.

The same math, programmatically.

Every calculator is a documented JSON endpoint backed by the exact same core the website uses. Pipe it into your processing scripts, notebooks or LIMS — interactive OpenAPI docs live at /docs.

Built by glycobiologists, for glycobiologists.

GlycoMass began in 2020 as a working bench tool and is being rebuilt in 2026 — same trusted chemistry, modern foundations.
