The Important Peak Index of the Registry of Mass Spectral Data, 3 Volume Set

Mas spec identification simplified and streamlined

While mass spectroscopy is an important tool for identifying unknown compounds, identifying the actual spectra can be laborious and time-consuming — until now. The Important Peak Index of the Registry of Mass Spectral Data contains the same information as the Registry, but organized differently for easier navigation. All 115,917 compounds are identified only by their most diagnostic peaks, presented in 136,141 different spectra to allow faster identification based on easily-recognizable signatures. Covering chemicals from the broadest possible range of types, this three-volume set is a high-utility reference for today's lab.

Fred Warren McLafferty is an American chemist known for his work in mass spectrometry. He is best known for the McLafferty rearrangement reaction that was observed with mass spectrometry. With Roland Gohlke, he pioneered the technique of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Douglas B. Stauffer is the author of The Important Peak Index of the Registry of Mass Spectral Data, 3 Volume Set, published by Wiley.
