Palo Alto, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/14/2011 -- PREMIER Biosoft today announced the release of a new version of its innovative MS/MS data analysis tool, SimLipid, with support for structural elucidation of sphingolipids using MS/MS data. SimLipid already supports precursor search and structural elucidation for Glycerophospholipids, Glycerolipids, Prenol Lipids and Saccharolipids.

In silico fragments for lipids have been updated in the product database to incorporate fragmentation patterns observed on MALDI TOF/TOF spectra.

The SimLipid database has also been updated. It now includes 29,892 lipid species along with additional biological information such as lipid abbreviation, systematic name, mass, composition and links to other databases.
