The calculated number of species does not include lipids formed by changing the position of the double bond beyond those represented in VaLID’s structural models. Each lipid m/z has been calculated for exact and average masses and can be searched using even and odd carbon chains with mass tolerance ranging from ±0.0001 to ±2 and MS ion modes [M + H]+, [M + K]+, [M + Li]+, [M + Na]+, [M – H], or [M (Neutral)].
