Global Lipidomics Profiling by a High Resolution LC-MS Platform

Methods Mol Biol. 2021:2306:39-51. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-1410-5_3.

Abstract

Lipidomics is the determination of big lipid assemblies by mass spectrometry. When using chromatography coupled high resolution mass spectrometry, lipids can be identified by exact mass, fragment spectra, and retention time. This protocol covers lipid extraction, LC-MS data acquisition by Orbitrap mass spectrometry and data processing by Lipid Data Analyzer, a custom developed open source software.

Keywords: Chromatography; LC-MS; Lipid data analyzer; Lipidomics; Lipids; Mass spectrometry.
