Modern mass spectrometric technologies provide quantitative readouts for a wide variety of lipid specimens. However, many studies do not report absolute lipid concentrations and differ vastly in methodologies, workflows and data presentation. Therefore, we encourage researchers to engage with the Lipidomics Standards Initiative to develop common standards for minimum acceptable data quality and reporting for lipidomics data, to take lipidomics research to the next level.

脂质组学需要更多的标准化。

现代质谱技术可为多种脂质样品提供定量读数。但是，许多研究没有报告绝对脂质浓度，并且在方法，工作流程和数据表示方面存在很大差异。因此，我们鼓励研究人员与脂质组学标准倡议组织合作，为降低可接受的最低数据质量和报告脂质组学数据制定通用标准，以将脂质组学研究提升到一个新的水平。
