Mass Spec Interpretation Services/James Little: Structure Searches with NIST MS Search and Using MS Interpreter

I presented a 5-part Wiley Webinar Series in August-September, 2020 on EI library searches. The series demonstrates the effective use of NIST software such as MS Search, MS Interpreter, and AMDIS with the Wiley, NIST, and user-created libraries.

The Part II will cover:

Detailed Handouts including tables of content are available in the LabRulezGCMS library.

  • Webinar topics
  • Help Files for NIST Search
  • General Windows commands/functions
  • Primary Libraries of EI Spectra and Associated Structures
  • Select the libraries used for Exact Structure searches
  • Obtaining structures from chemical drawing program
  • Search for similar structures after inserting clipboard structure
  • Sending Structure from MS Search to drawing program
  • Tips for displaying structure search results
  • Tips for displaying related structures in structure searches
  • Search for exact structures
  • Using compare window to display multiple spectra
  • View of hit list structure search options utilized
  • MS interpreter for correlating structure to spectrum
  • Do the 3 isomers of methyl hydroxybenzoate fragment differently?
  • Any structure and associated spectrum sent to MS Interpreter
  • Accurate mass spectrum correlated to structure in MS Interpreter
  • Webinar references
  • Acknowledgements

Future parts will focus on:
