AutoDesorb - Automated Short Path Thermal Desorption
SIS introduced the new AutoDesorb System at PittCon 99. This PC Controlled Automated Short Path Thermal Desorption System is designed for the continuous and unattended thermal extraction of volatile and semi-volatile organics from solid, liquid and gas samples for analysis by GC and GC/MS. The new AutoDesorb System is the automated sampling version of the patented SIS Short Path Thermal Desorption System. It is designed for the automatic and unattended pickup, injection and thermal extraction of volatile and semi-volatile organics from solid, liquid and gas samples for analysis by GC and GC/MS.
The system is operated and controlled by a PC Windows based software package developed by SIS. The AutoDesorb System has been developed to operate within the Hewlett-Packard ChemStation software package on the HP 6890 GC or HP 5973 GC/MS to provide for a seamless integration of the HP GC or MSD with the SIS AutoDesorb System.
Systems are scheduled for shipment in July 1999.

Heated Desorption Sampling Chambers (Thermal Desorption Accessory)
The Heated Thermal Desorption Sampling
Chambers are used to contain large solid matrix samples for the purpose
of purging off the volatile and semi-volatile organics at elevated temperatures
and then trapping these analytes on thermal desorption tubes packed with
a variety of adsorbent resins. The samples collected are then analyzed
using the thermal desorption system in conjunction with a GC and/or GC/MS.
These systems are custom made on order and other chamber sizes can be constructed
according to your requirements.

MS Interface Kit (for interfacing the GC column to the Mass spectrometer)
The SGT Mass Spec Interface is installed
between the end of the GC capillary column and the interface to the mass
spectrometer. This system permits the quick changing of GC columns without
venting the mass spectrometer. When the GC column is removed from the Mass
Spec Interface, a flow of clean carrier gas purges the Mass Spec transfer
line and allows the Mass Spec to stay under vacuum. When the new column
has been installed, the next analysis can start within seconds.
Posted 3/15/99
MS NoVent (5 Minute GC/MS Column changeover)
The ms-NoVent™ allows
a capillary column to be changed without venting the MS and the mass spectrometer
can be operational almost immediately. The ms-NoVent™
is simple to install and operate. The ms-NoVent™ consists of
an oven interface fitting connected directly to the existing transfer line
interface on the MS. A fused silica transfer line (specific in length and
inside diameter for the vacuum system of the particular MS) fits inside
the interface. This transfer line is designed to restrict the gas flow
that can be pulled into the ion source, allowing a low pressure to be maintained
in the system. Models for the HP MSD are currently
available.

GCQ Probe and Inlet (Direct Probe and Probe Inlet system for the GCQ MS)
Scientific Instrument Services has developed a new high temperature Direct Insertion Probe (HT-DIP) for the ThermoQuest (Finnigan MAT) GCQ instruments. These probes can be used from ambient temperatures up to 800o C with a ballistic temperature ramping of over 700o C/min.
The
SIS Probe Inlet System for the GCQ Instruments has been redesigned to improve
the operation of the standard probe inlet and to increase seal life by
a factor of 50 or more. This is accomplished via the use of PTFE seals
with a greater vacuum sealing surface area.

CombiFilter Gas Filter (GC carrier Gas Line Filter)
The Super-Clean Gas Filters introduce no impurities, they just take
them out! The SGT Super-Clean gas Filter™ System combines high
efficiency removal of impurities and is easy to use and operate. The filters
are replaced simply by unscrewing the retaining ring, removing the spent
filter cartridge and replacing it with a new filter cartridge. In addition,
these filters are designed to fit to other similar designed base plates.

NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spec Database
107,886 Compounds
107,829 Chemical Structures
129,136 Spectra
21,250 Replicate Spectra
13,205 Compounds with Replicate Spectra
93 Average Peaks per Spectrum
78 Median peaks per Spectrum
75% Increase in coverage from high quality
sources
NIST 98 is a fully evaluated collection of electron impact (EI) mass spectra. It is the product of a ten year, comprehensive evaluation and expansion of the world's most widely used mass spectral reference library by a team of experience mass spectrometrists in which each spectrum was examined for correctness. This has lead 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.
The 75% 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, including:
Chemical Concepts - including Prof Henneberg's
industrial chemicals collection
Georgia and Virginia Crime Laboratories
TNO Flavors and Fragrances
AAFS Toxicology Section, Drug Library
Association of Official Racing Chemists
St. Louis University Urinary Acids
VERIFIN & CBDCOM Chemical Weapons
The NIST/EPA/NIH Main Library now contains spectra of more than 100,000
compounds along with associated chemical identification data including
chemical structures, synonyms, and other relevant information. The best
quality spectra are placed in the Main Library; and good-quality, alternate
spectra are provided in the Selected Replicates Library, bringing the total
number of spectra to over 130,000. Each spectrum has been carefully evaluated,
and all decisions regarding selection or deletion were made only after
agreement of two experienced mass spectral evaluators. While computer methods
assisted in finding chemical identification errors and inconsistencies,
and revealed certain varieties of mass spectral errors, manual interpretation
was the principal basis for this evaluation effort. All erroneous spectra
from previous versions were removed or replaced. Efforts were also made
to remove duplication of the same or edited forms of a single spectrum
and to limit the replicate library to spectra showing a meaningful degree
of variability. This release represents the largest increase in both quality
and coverage in the 25-year history of the NIST/EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Database the
world's most widely used reference MS database and for the first time that
it can be stated that the library has been fully evaluated. The objective
of this effort was to provide the best possible reference library for compound
identification by mass spectral library searching.
