🚀 NIST 26 elevates accurate‑mass GC‑MS processing. In a new guide and video, James Little (Mass Spec Interpretation Services) shows how the Chromatogram Window replaces standalone AMDIS for high‑resolution data—without sacrificing its proven deconvolution.

• 🔬 Unified workflow: deconvolution + library searching + accurate‑mass handling in one place.
• 🧠 Smart encoding: accurate‑mass ions → integer for AMDIS → back to m/z, yielding cleaner spectra, especially for trace analytes.
• ⚙️ Practical steps: set EI/Tandem and save .ini; 📂 load CDF/JDX; 🔎 search MainLib/RepLib (and Wiley); ⏱️ optimize scan combination (Maximum/Moderate/Fastest); run and review.
• 📈 Faster, clearer review: switch to log scale, sort by Relative Abundance, select >1% hits, and use Best Hits/Merge Duplicates/Filter Score; watch Max2Med for spectral reliability.
• ✅ Confidence check: send hits to MS Interpreter from the results table to verify fragments, formulas, and ppm errors; then 🧾 copy selected hits to Excel for reporting.

Result: simpler identification, better low‑level detection, and flexible reporting—an advance over standalone deconvolution for high‑resolution GC‑MS.
