<jats:p>Summary: 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.</jats:p>
<jats:p>Availability: 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</jats:p>
