The Mass Spectrometer Spectral Overlap Emulator from Hiden Analytical gives Apple fanboys in environmental, R&D and MS application setup labs the ability to select components from a quick mass peak look up table and view overlaps of multiple fragmentation spectra to identify the mass peaks with least interference.
Certainly, a useful yet simple tool to get a first impression of MS optimization potential. It also looks great on your desk, if you need to look suddenly busy. Up to 16 gas and vapor species (arsenic hyrdride, DP Oil DC705, Krypton…) can be assigned, with the ability to fine tune the relative concentrations of each. And it’s so simple, a five-year-old could run it. In fact, a five-year-old produced the fine looking spectra above. Admittedly, it serves as a subtle marketing tool for Hiden Analytical, but given that it’s free and with no obligation, what's not to like?
