Streamline data processing with complete compatibility
Add even greater value to the native capabilities of waters_connect Software Solutions to process and visualize lipidomics data using a streamlined end-to-end workflow that is fully compatible with Waters data including MSE, SONAR, HDMSE, and calculation of CCS values. As a vendor-neutral solution, Lipostar2 lets you utilize software processing capabilities across multiple MS instruments.
Achieve higher confidence in your identifications
Merge positive and negative ion data from the same samples for a higher degree of confidence in your identifications and obtain a clearer picture with 3D peak visualization of HDMSE data using IMS viewer. Easily conduct simple peak and spectra interrogation and peak editing in just a few clicks.
Accelerate your research with an advanced statistical analysis toolbox
Meet all your analysis requirements with a toolbox of unsupervised and supervised multivariate statistical models and T tests while simplifying your ability to identify trends in your data with Trend Analysis for lipids, and quantification tools for plotting your calibration curves.
Leverage fragmentation rules and custom databases
The DB Manager module in Lipostar2 ensures accuracy with lipid class specific fragmentation rules, minimizing false positive rate in the identification step. The software’s intuitive tools simplify complex analyses for seamless insights, leveraging resources like LIPIDMAPS alongside effortless custom database generation from sdf or csv files, including the Waters Lipidomics Profiling CCS library. Lipostar2 assigns scores for mass error, isotopic pattern, fragmentation, and CCS values, enhancing confidence in your results with a traffic light system. Kendrick plots are also available to revise and further reduce false discovery rate.
