8.5 Analyzing Data Using AMDIS
AMDIS is an acronym for Automated Mass Spectrum Deconvolution and
Identification System, a tool which was developed by the National Institute of
Science and Technology. HAPSITE utilizes an on-board library, HAPSITE.msl,
and the AMDIS deconvolution algorithm to make identifications. This library
contains approximately 750 chemicals including chemical warfare agents and is
able to identify complex mixtures, including co-eluting chemicals. The on-board
library can be updated to include several thousand compounds. The laptop AMDIS
software can be accessed through ER IQ, enhancing the quality of data analysis
by including access to the NIST mass spectral library.
