LipidCreator

Generation of targeted MS assays for lipids

Description

LipidCreator is a lipid building block-based workbench and knowledge base for the automated generation of targeted lipidomics mass spectrometry assays and in-silico spectral libraries. Assay generation can be conducted with a graphical user interface (GUI) or on the command line, covering lipids of the following categories: sphingolipids (SL), glycerolipids (GL), glycerophospholipids (PL), sterols and its derivates, and fatty acids, including mediators (LM). LipidCreator can calculate masses for lipid species and their derived fragment ions, covering over 60 lipid classes and a lipid array of 1012 lipid molecules with a consensus nomenclature.
