New improvements and free GCMS training resources, including videos and associated handouts, will be described. EI/tandem libraries utilized include NIST, Wiley, MoNA, and user-created ones.

A demo of creating a NIST user library is presented. In addition, an inexpensive but powerful method for combining, updating, distributing, and archiving it over a corporate network is discussed.

Going through the 7 steps Dr Ed Connor will give an explanation of how easy it is to switch gases and what considerations and actions are required to do so.

The NIST hybrid search of MS libraries is a greatly improved search algorithm. It generates a similarity score for both fragments and neutral losses. Thus extending the scope of commercial and user libraries.

A demo of AMDIS for processing EI GC-MS files is presented. In addition to the NIST Search software the components can be identified within AMDIS using either commercial or user libraries.

Helium is commonly used in GC as a carrier gas, offering good separation results. However, helium gas is a finite resource with a fluctuating price tag as its availability continues to decrease.

A demo of NIST MS exact and similar structure search for finding model compounds is presented. A user can use their preferred drawing programs for inputting structures into the NIST MS Search program.

A demo of NIST MS search for identifying components in EI GC-MS analyses is presented. The data is acquired on a variety of GC-MS systems then sent to the NIST MS search for processing.

They serve as a vital source of data for long-term monitoring of persistent organic pollutants (POPs), in addition to other pollutants of interest, in various environmental compartments.

PragolApp is mobile application developed by Pragolab to allow users of IC/MS, GC/MS and LC/MS Instruments to control currently running sequence and to be actively notified when error occurs.
