FiehnLib - a mass spectral and retention index library for comprehensive metabolic profiling
The current libraries comprise over 1,000 identified metabolites that are currently screened by the Fiehn laboratory. We are continually extending the compound list and welcome compound donations or compound names with PubChem CIDs that are yet missing in our lists.
If you are interested in obtaining the Fiehn mass spectral libraries, you can purchase these for GC-quadrupole mass spectrometers from Agilent, and for GC-TOF mass spectrometers from Leco. (see links below)
You can also directly compare mass spectra by compound names, by database identifiers or even against your own GC/MS spectra by querying BinBase.

FiehnLib – mass spectral and retention index libraries for metabolomics based on quadrupole and time-of-flight gas chromatography/mass spectrometry; Kind, Tobias; Wohlgemuth, Gert; Lee, Do Yup; Lu, Yun; Palazoglu, Mine; Shahbaz, Sevini; Fiehn, Oliver
Accepted in Analytical Chemistry (ACS) - currently in ASAP section.
Provided project software:
- FiehnLib as EXCEL 2003 file with Name, PubChem CID, INChIKey, pictures [XLS]
- FiehnLib as SDF from PubChem (molecule file) [SDF]
- FiehnLib as web link for easy web access [LINK]
There are two large Open Source software projects which utilize the FiehnLib mass spectral and retention library. First the open source SetupX LIMS system which handles sample organization, class assignments and provides download web services. Secondly the BinBase automatic library search and retention index matching system which performs the identification and post-matching.

- Agilent Fiehn GC/MS Metabolomics RTL Library [LINK]
An Agilent 6890GC/5973 quadrupole MSD was used for the creation of the Agilent library. The GC was equipped with a DB5-MS + 10m Duragard capillary column (length 30m; ID 0.25 mm, film thickness 0.25 μm; Agilent 122-5532G). Helium in constant flow mode was used as a carrier gas. The GC temperature program was set at an initial temperature 60°C with a hold time of one minute; with a following temperature ramp of 10°C/min and a final temperature of 325°C and final hold time of 10 minutes. The MSD transfer line heater temperature was set to 290°C. The mass spectrometer was operated in full scan mode from 50 m/z to 650 m/z. Electron impact ionization at 70V was employed with an ion source temperature of 250°C. Myristic acid D27 (Sigma Aldrich 366889; PubChem SID 24862719; InChIKey: TUNFSRHWOTWDNC-RZVOLPTOSA-N) was used for retention time locking (RTL).
- LECO Fiehn Metabolomics library [LINK]
The LECO library was obtained on a Leco Pegasus IV time of flight mass spectrometer with a Agilent 6890 gas chromatograph and a Gerstel automatic liner exchange system with multipurpose sample MPS2 dual rail and two derivatization stations in conjunction with a Gerstel CIS cold injection system (Gerstel, Muehlheim, Germany). A 30 m long, 0.25 mm i.d. Rtx-5Sil MS column with 0.25 mm 95% Dimethyl 5% Diphenyl-Polysiloxane film and additional 10 m integrated guard column was used (Restek, Bellefonte PA) for separation. The GC oven temperature was held constant at 50°C for 1 min and then ramped at 20°C/min to 330°C at which it was held constant for 5 min. The transfer line temperature between gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer was set to 280°C. Electron impact ionization at 70V was employed with an ion source temperature of 250°C. Spectra were collected from m/z 85-500 at 20 spectra/sec and 1550V detector voltage. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) were used as internal retention index markers.
