Mass Spectral Libraries (NIST 14 and Wiley Libraries)

Home

We have mass spectral libraries!

  • Identify unknown compounds from EI (GC/MS) and MS/MS spectra by library searching our mass spectral databases.
  • Hundreds of thousands of spectra. EI MS spectra, MS/MS spectra, GC data & retention indices, and/or chemical names/structures
  • World's most widely used and trusted mass spectral reference libraries.
  • Search software included (used by all libraries).
  • Supports most MS software systems (Agilent ChemStation/MassHunter, Thermo Xcalibur, Shimadzu GCMS Solutions, Waters MassLynx, Thermo Xcalibur, PE TurboMass, etc.).
  • We have many libraries:
    • NIST 17 is our recommended base library, large, general purpose, strongly evaluated, and purchased by most customers. NEW: NIST 2017 Release!
    • The Wiley Registry is the the world's largest EI MS library, general in purpose, and optionally combined with NIST MS.
    • Other Wiley specialty libraries focus on specific classes of compounds like drugs, pesticides, flavors and fragrances.
  • Call or e-mail us to discuss your library needs.
  • NIST 17NIST 17
    Get new licenses for NIST mass spectral library, EI MS spectra, MS/MS, GC data here. Includes electron ionization (EI) data, AMDIS software. Standard, Agilent, Shimadzu, Multiformat available.
  • Wiley Registry 11thWiley Registry 11th
    Wiley Registry 11th Mass Spectral Library. The world's largest MS library. Optionally combined with NIST.
  • NIST GC '17NIST GC '17
    A library of 99,400 chemical compounds analyzed by gas chromatography, including 404,045 GC method and retention index citations from literature.
  • NIST MSMS '17NIST MSMS '17
    A library of 193,164 MS/MS spectra of 41,475 ions, obtained from ion trap, collision cell, and HCD (orbitrap) instruments. This is a subset of the full NIST 14 MS library, containing only the MS/MS data and search software.
  • Wiley Designer DrugsWiley Designer Drugs
    Identify designer drugs by EI mass spectra. Designer drugs are often illicit, synthesized from common chemicals, novel to evade detection, and skillfully marketed under attractive, often exotic names.
  • Wiley Flavors/Fragrances (FFNSC)Wiley Flavors/Fragrances
    (FFNSC)
    EI mass spectra with GC linear retention indices (LRI), enabling more reliable complex mixtures of flavors and fragrances even where they have identical spectra.
  • Wiley Drugs/Poisons/Pesticides/Pollutants & MetabolitesWiley Drugs/Poisons/Pesticides/Pollutants & Metabolites
    The world's most comprehensive reference for clinical and forensic toxicologists is keeping pace with recent developments in clinical and forensic toxicology. Mass spectral (EI) and GC data library.
  • Wiley LC-MSn Library of Drugs, Poisons and Their MetabolitesWiley LC-MSn Library of Drugs, Poisons and Their Metabolites
    The world's most comprehensive reference for clinical and forensic toxicologists is keeping pace with recent developments in clinical and forensic toxicology.
  • Wiley FAMEs Fatty Acid Methyl Esters: Mass Spectral DatabaseWiley FAMEs Fatty Acid Methyl Esters: Mass Spectral Database
    Fatty acids are important compounds in food analysis since they are sample-specific.
  • Wiley Physiologically Active Substances (drugs, steroid hormones, and endocrine disruptors)Wiley Physiologically Active Substances
    (drugs, steroid hormones, and endocrine disruptors)
    Steroids are of considerable therapeutic importance and play a substantial role in endocrinology, a medicine branch dealing with disorder of the endocrine system, an integrated system of small organs that involve the release of extracellular signaling molecules known as hormones.
  • Wiley Pesticides (Rolf Kühnle)Wiley Pesticides (Rolf Kühnle)
    EI mass spectra of pesticides. A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest.
  • Wiley Pesticides with Retention Indices (Luigi Mondello)Wiley Pesticides with Retention Indices
    (Luigi Mondello)
    EI mass spectra of pesticides. A pesticide is any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest.
  • Wiley Androgens/Estrogens/SteroidsWiley Androgens/Estrogens/Steroids
    This newly expended collection contains 3722 mass spectra and chemical structures of androgens and estrogens and their trimethylsilyl-, O-methoxyoxime- and acetal derivatives.
  • Wiley Organic CompoundsWiley Organic Compounds
    The collection contains 37,055 mass spectra of organic compounds.
  • Wiley Geochemicals/Petrochemicals/BiomarkersWiley Geochemicals/Petrochemicals/Biomarkers
    Database featuring 1,100 mass spectra of well-defined compounds, for the organic, geo-, and/or petrochemist.
  • Wiley Tandem MSMS (MSforID)Wiley Tandem MSMS
    (MSforID)
    Contains 10,000 positive and negative mode tandem MS/MS spectra of over 1200 compounds of interest for forensics, toxicology, and pathology.
