Comprehensive understanding of the roles and functions of lipids in cellular physiology and pathology requires unambiguous identification and accurate quantification of individual lipid molecular species. However, the enormous structural diversity of lipids (> 37,000 lipid molecules cataloged in the LIPID MAPS database at www. lipidmaps. org) presents significant challenge in high throughput analysis of lipidomics data.[1, 2] Traditionally, triple quadrupole or quadrupole time of flight (QTOF) mass spectrometers are utilized for lipids analysis using either precursor ion scanning (PIS) or neutral loss scanning (NLS) methods, which exploit lipid class-characteristic ions or neutral loss fragments generated in collisional induced dissociation of gas phase lipid molecular ions. These methods are readily carried out in direct infusion mode (also known as shotgun lipidomics [3]) without on-line chromatographic separation of lipids, and software tools such as LIMSA,[4] Lipid Profiler,[5] AMDMS-SL [6] and MS-LAMP [7] were written to specifically analyze these types of data. Recently, data-dependent acquisition of full scan MS/MS spectra from all detectable precursor ions has gained increasing use in lipid profiling studies. This method is mainly implemented on ion trap, high resolution QTOF or hybrid Orbitrap instruments. The spectra obtained can be considered as the emulation of simultaneous acquisition of an unlimited number of product and neutral loss scans in a single analysis. Accordingly, tools for analyzing this type of data were also being developed, such as LipidQA,[8] LipidInspector,[9] and LipidXplorer,[10] mainly for direct infusion based shotgun lipidomics workflow (Common features of previous lipidomics software tools were summarized in Reference 10). More recently, an in-silico tandem mass spectral database, LipidBlast was developed to match with the experimentally acquired MS/MS spectrum,[11] which provided a new avenue for lipids identification. We and others have found that coupling liquid chromatographic (LC) separation with data-dependent MS/MS adds additional confidence in
