Mass App-eal

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?

About the Author
Rich Whitworth

Rich Whitworth completed his studies in medical biochemistry at the University of Leicester, UK, in 1998. To cut a long story short, he escaped to Tokyo to spend five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. "Carving out a career in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. When seeing life through such a kaleidoscopic lens, it's hard not to get truly caught up in the moment." On returning to the UK, after a few false starts with grey, corporate publishers, Rich was snapped up by Texere Publishing, where he spearheaded the editorial development of The Analytical Scientist. "I feel honored to be part of the close-knit team that forged The Analytical Scientist – we've created a very fresh and forward-thinking publication." Rich is now also Content Director of Texere Publishing, the company behind The Analytical Scientist.
