This Lipid Calculator App collects no data or cookies from you. We have no means to do that so. The Lipid Calculator is self-contained to calculate monoisotopic molecular weight of selected lipids as well as common [M+H]+ and [M-H]­ ions as well as common adduct ions. No data outside the program is needed and your selected choices for lipid or molecular species subtype is not retained by the program.

Chemical structures are provided for most lipids except when a more generic structure has to be used in order to limit the total number of structures embedded in the program with those species (e.g. phospholipid species that could be in the thousands). The isotope abundances were calculated using the algorithms published by John Beynon using carbon (= 12.0000) as the reference atomic mass and most published isotope abundances.

If you have any suggestions or problems with the program, you are free to contact the developer at the following email address: [email protected] or contact the Lipid Maps office at: https://lipidmaps.org/about/contact
