Increase the Likelihood of MS Identification with the Wiley Registry / NIST Library

Comparing MS spectra to libraries of reference spectra is one of the most widely used and successful methodologies in the identification of unknown mass spectra. Using this approach, access to an expansive, quality dataset is critical to achieving reliable results.

In this session we will introduce the latest release of the Wiley Registry / NIST Mass Spectral Library 2023, which combines the power of two trusted MS spectral libraries to provide comprehensive compound coverage and ensure identification across multiple use cases and a wide variety of analytes. In this session, we will also demonstrate through a series of live examples how this library can be used to successfully identify unknown spectra.
