Wiley Registry 10th Edition / NIST 2012 Mass Spectral Library

Wiley — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

Analytical laboratories face increasingly diverse demands – ranging from identification of general unknowns to single ion monitoring. One of the most demanding tasks is general unknown identification and deformulation from a variety of sources, including in vivo. Single ion monitoring or even specialized library searches leaves out some or all of the compounds present.

The Wiley Registry/NIST is consistently the single most important tool for the identification
