Seven reasons to upgrade:
1) Over 60,000 new spectra covering 147,000 compounds in
174500 spectra.
2) Over 14,500 (more the 10%) of NIST98 spectra replaced
with new spectra.
3) Expanded coverage of chemical structures, names, and
CAS numbers.
4) Many new natural compound related spectra.
5) Many new acyl and silyl derivative spectra.
6) New pesticide, herbicide, and drug spectra.
7) Better coverage of chemical weapons and precursors.
NIST02 is a fully evaluated collection of electron-ionization (EI) mass spectra. It is the product of a 15-year effort by a team of experienced mass spectrometrists in which each spectrum was examined for correctness. This has led to thousands of selections, deletions and modifications to produce an optimal reference library of compound identification by spectrum matching and library searching. All decisions required agreement by two evaluators, as described in presentations at major conferences.
A 35% increase in coverage was accomplished primarily by the addition of complete, high-quality spectra either measured specifically for the library or taken from major practical collections. Database quality has increased with more peaks per spectrum and more chemical names, chemical structures, CAS numbers and replicate spectra.
All labs with a prior version of the NIST MS library will
want this important upgrade. Order your upgrades today.
