A chlorine-selective chromatographic detector based on the computer analysis of gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric data was described in the previous paper. The presence of chlorine is inferred from isotope cluster patterns in the mass spectra; the computer is instructed to locate these patterns

โฆ Synopsis
A computer program to selectively locate the mass spectra of chlorinated compounds in a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry data set is described. The method is based on a search for chlorine isotope patterns and functions as a chlorine-selective "detector". Its performance has been evaluated using the EPA/NIH Mass Spectral Data Base of 31,333 mass spectra. Ninety-five percent of the chlorinated compounds in the library were "found"; and mass spectra of chlorinated compounds were assigned scores which averaged 18 times higher than those of nonchlorinated species. Positive and negative interferences are discussed.
