The NIST 08 Mass Spectral Library (NIST/EPA/NIH)--New 2008 Version Software

Statistics for NIST 08 and earlier versions are given below.

To check for compounds in the NIST 08, you may .

With each purchase, we ship a CD (installs software, libraries, and documentation) and a printed manual.

Libraries are formatted the binary format suitable for use alone or by the NIST MS Search software (and AMDIS). Additional instrument-specific formats (e.g. Agilent ChemStation) are available separately to permit library searching directly within your GC/MS or LC/MS data system.

NIST is not just a mass spectral library. It contains these components:

Summary: The NIST 08 mass spectral database, the successor to the NIST 05, is a fully evaluated collection of electron ionization (EI) mass spectra. It also contains MS/MS spectra and GC data. It is the product of a two decade, comprehensive evaluation and expansion of the world's most widely used mass spectral reference library by a team of experienced mass spectrometrists in which each spectrum was examined for correctness.
