Mace Release 8

MACE release 8, an add-on mass spectral open-access database for the NIST GC/MS library, has now been released. The database now covers over 620 EI-quadrupole and over 50 EI-Orbitrap spectra, useful in Chemical Ecology and related fields. It contains spectra of semiochemicals, terpenoids, alkaloids, lipids, and others, from arthropods, vertebrates, plants, or microporganisms. It also contains 50 spectra of suspected or proven pheromones of click beetles supplied by the Millar group.

The website can be found here and the data here.
