John Wiley & Sons, Inc. announces the availability of Wiley Registry/NIST 2011 Mass Spectral Library

November, 2011. Hoboken, NJ – John Wiley & Sons, Inc. announces the launch of the Wiley Registry® of Mass Spectral Data, 9th Edition, with NIST 2011 (Wiley Registry/NIST). Combining the two most trusted names in mass spectrometry, the Wiley Registry/NIST features more than 819,000 mass spectra, enabling researchers to analyze and identify more than 667,000 compounds. More than 765,000 of the spectra feature searchable chemical structures. It is the largest, most comprehensive spectral database available.

Wiley Registry/NIST (ISBN: 978-1-1180-1624-4) is available on DVD. Each DVD also includes the complete NIST/EPA/NIH 2011 library, featuring more than 240,000 additional mass spectra from NIST/EPA/NIS 2011, as well the popular NIST spectroscopy search software, including MS Search, AMDIS, and Lib2NIST. The software includes a new ESI MSMS search algorithm that is compatible with Wiley?s accurate mass ESI MSMS library, Wiley Registry of Tandem MS Data, MSforID (ISBN: 978-1-1180-3744-7).

With more high-resolution spectra and more searchable chemical structures than any other comparable database, Wiley Registry/NIST is an essential reference for every analytical chemistry laboratory, helping researchers fully leverage their investments in staff and instruments. Researchers can confidently identify or confirm the composition and chemical structure of hundreds of thousands of compounds. Extensive coverage includes pharmaceuticals, illegal drugs, poisons, pesticides, steroids, natural products, industrial compounds, flavors, fragrances, chemical warfare agents, and environmental pollutants.

Wiley Registry/NIST supports a broad range of critical applications in such fields as toxicology, homeland security, pharmaceutics, industrial R&D, quality assurance, environmental safety, and food safety. Researchers can verify whether the database covers a compound of interest at Compound Search.

About the Author

Professor Emeritus Fred W. McLafferty of Cornell University has been at the editorial helm of the Wiley Registry of Mass Spectral Data since the First Edition was published in 1969. His reputation in the field of mass spectrometry is unsurpassed: Dr. McLafferty is the founder of a fundamental mechanistic scheme in mass spectrometry that laid the foundation for today?s computerized spectral interpretations. Among his many awards, he is the recipient of the ACS Fisher Award, Thomson Gold Medal, ACS Award for Chemical Instrumentation, and Field and Franklin Award.

Compatibility

Wiley Registry/NIST has been tested and optimized to run on the current versions of most manufacturers? software, including Agilent Chemstation, Shimadzu GCMS Solution, Waters MassLynx, Thermo Spectral ID, and PerkinElmer TurboMass. A simple web screen guides users through the quick installation.
