SimLipid®

The Bioinformatics Tool for Mass Spectrometry Based Lipidomics Workflows

Below is a list of MS based lipidomics workflows supported by SimLipid. SimLipid can perform lipid identification using exact mass database search, and product ions database search. Subsequent quantitation of the annotated lipids in mass spectra by correcting isotopic overlapping of m/z peaks belonging to different biological species, and mapping of the annotated lipids across biological groups for differential lipidomics analysis is also facilitated.
