Nomenclature Tools

Input: list of lipid names
Output: input name; standardized name; formula; exact mass

Standardizing to LIPID MAPS® nomenclature is recommended for both discrete lipid structures and lipid species identified by mass spectroscopic techniques — an essential prerequisite for the ability to compare and contrast data across different experiments and studies.

Example

Input		Output
4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z-docosahexaenoic acid	=>	DHA
Cervonic acid	=>	DHA
Docosahexaenoic acid	=>	DHA
C22:6n-3,6,9,12,15,18	=>	DHA
DHA	=>	DHA

Input: list of lipid names with ion adduct
Output: input name; standardized name; formula; exact mass with ion adduct

This calculator can be used on all input species, however not all adducts/ions are possible for every molecule.
