LipidMatch

Allows annotation of lipids across a wide range of high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) studies. LipidMatch is based on an accurate assumption of multiple co-eluting lipids sharing m/z values. It was evaluated using data acquired from a Q-Exactive orbitrap mass spectrometer and an Agilent 6540 Q-TOF. The tool contains a large diversity in lipid types of any current open-source software platform and a rule-based strategy for identification and summed fragment intensity based strategy for ranking top hits.

I've found LipidMatch to be a very powerful tool in our lipidomics workflow. The video tutorials are well done and will get users up and running very quickly. I strongly recommend this program.
