For several decades libraries of EI spectra have been used successfully for compound identification, especially from GC-MS data, while, in contrast, many difficulties seem to be present in trying to achieve the same success for tandem mass spectrometry data. This short essay attempts to answer the question of why this difference should occur, what is it about...]]> 2009-05-15T00:00:00Z http://www.spectroscopynow.com/details/education/sepspec19674education/A-Simple-Device-for-Cleaning-Many-NMR-Tubes-Simultaneously.html NMR tubes are widely used in organic chemistry. Cleaning a few tubes after use is not a big problem but cleaning hundreds of tubes is a demanding task in terms of time and use of solvents. Here is presented a simple nmr tube cleaner that can clean and dry hundreds of tubes in a short time with minimal exposure of the user to solvents. The tube cleaner is easily assembled from equipment normally present in the organic chemistry laboratory.]]> 2008-10-21T00:00:00Z
