NIST 14 Tandem Database and Search Program

Library Search Software Features (v.2.2)

  • Search for the exact or isotopic precursor mass.
  • Search for exact fragment ion mass values in NIST EI and MS/MS databases.
  • Import spectra from instrument data system using standard formats including mzXML, mzData, mgf, msp, dta, pkl, JCAMP, etc.
  • Compatible with NIST Peptide MS/MS Databases.
  • Provides a variety of new methods for identifying target compounds or compound classes – even in the presence of noise.
  • It is possible to build your own MSMS Libs from Mass Hunter, MassLynx, Xcalibur, and other data.
  • Improved ability to identify compounds with few dominant peaks – a common situation for Tandem MS (New).
  • More robust scoring for spectra acquired on imperfectly-tuned instruments (New).
