This page is a compilation of spectra obtained with the Aerodyne High Resolution Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer contributted by the AMS User Community. It complements the unit mass resolution (UMR) database for the AMS.
Spectra are divided into several categories with respective ID labels
If there are spectra that you would like added to the database please send them to Michael Lechner in the requested format.
Note that replicates of spectra are of great interest. As in the NIST or Wiley databases, replicates allow the user to identify differences that may be due to impurities, different experimental conditions, instrumental differences, etc.
These spectra have been made available to the entire community. By using these spectra you agree to make appropriate citations of the papers referenced for the specific spectra that you use. Please honor this request so that the spectra can continue to be available to everyone. Also please cite this database as "Lechner, M., Ulbrich, I.M., and Jimenez, J.L. High-Resolution AMS Spectral Database. URL: http://cires.colorado.edu/jimenez-group/HRAMSsd/" and the paper that describes the AMS database (Ulbrich et al., ACP, 9, 2891-2918, 2009).
Available for download is an IGOR procedure file designed to add naming tags. Download
Available for download is an .zip folder containing the .itx file for every spectrum Download
