What MS spectral libraries/ databases are available for the GC/MS MSD ChemStation?
The GC/MS MSD ChemStation libraries consist of 2 basic types: general and application specific. Although the MSD ChemStation has been around for some time, the basic libraries choices have remained pretty much the same. What has changed is the revision or compounds and spectra that are included. Currently the libraries available include: NIST98, Wiley7th N, RTL (retention time locking) Pesticides, Stan Pesticides, and Pfleger, Mauler, Weber (PMW)3rd edition drugs and metabolites. There is also a NIST chemical structures database. The structures DB will allow the return of a structure for any library spectrum that has a CAS registry number. The MSD ChemStation software also provides the functionality to create your own spectral and chemical structure databases.
