Mass spec is use to further confirm your sample analyzed. Mass spectroscopy breaks down the sample into its components. It does this by bombarding the molecule with some type of particle (either alpha or beta... or i may be way off). This will break down the sample into certain weights. The mass spec will tells you these molecular wieghts. On your software that you have you will see the molecular wieghts on a graph. You then can compare it to the library you have to see if your sample is actually the sample you say it is.

What are the limitations of infrared spectroscopy?

During quantitative analysis, deviations can easily occur. Infrared spectroscopy is also not applicable for substances such as complex mixtures.Infrared spectroscopy is hence common combined with other techniques. In quantitative analysis, multivariate techniques are used. As for isomer separation and contaminant detection, gas chromatography-infrared spectroscopy is often used.

To get all of kinds science equipment/apparatus go to Wikipedia.com and look up pH meter, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), pipettes, vortex, electrophoresis, and a desiccator. This should get you started.
