Lipidomics has attracted attention in the discovery of unknown biomolecules and for capturing the changes in metabolism caused by genetic and environmental factors in an unbiased manner. However, obtaining reliable lipidomics data, including structural diversity and quantification data, is still challenging. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a suitable technique for separating lipid molecules with high throughput and separation efficiency. Here, we describe a quantitative lipidomics method using SFC coupled with mass spectrometry. This technique is suitable for characterizing the structural diversity of lipids (e.g., phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, and glycerolipids) with high quantitative accuracy to understand their biological functions.

摘要

Lipidomics has attracted attention in the discovery of unknown biomolecules and for capturing the changes in metabolism caused by genetic and environmental factors in an unbiased manner. However, obtaining reliable lipidomics data, including structural diversity and quantification data, is still challenging. Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) is a suitable technique for separating lipid molecules with high throughput and separation efficiency. Here, we describe a quantitative lipidomics method using SFC coupled with mass spectrometry. This technique is suitable for characterizing the structural diversity of lipids (e.g., phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids, and glycerolipids) with high quantitative accuracy to understand their biological functions.
