Hi all,

NIST has just released a GC Retention Index (GC-RI) Database that is a new library and search program for GC Method Development. It will be an essential tool for anyone performing GC, GC/MS, or GC/FTIR.

The new program's gas phase Retention Index (RI) database contains the Kovats Indices (KI) with more than 293,000 citations (GC conditions, literature citations with titles, and RI values) for over 44,000 compounds on both non-polar and polar columns.

You can search for RI data by compound name, partial name, formula, nominal molecular weight, CAS number, or structure, and also narrow your search by column type, stationary phase type, or temperature conditions. You can even constrain your search by "RI value range".
