The lipidome covers a range of lipids from non-polar to polar. Profiling experiments often need two or more chromatography separation schemes to cover the range of polarities: a normal phase method and a reverse phase method. Quantitation of the annotated lipids requires investigation using a more targeted approach. We have described a comprehensive analytical method using supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry for the analysis of lipids covering the whole spectrum of lipid classes in a single run [...]

Automating Untargeted and Targeted LC-MS Lipid Data Analysis with SimLipid® Software
May 22, 2017
The presence of lipids in membranes, or as signaling molecules, is reflective of the physiological state of an organism at a given time. Comparative studies of the complex lipid mixtures found in cells and tissues could potentially reveal lipid biomarkers. It may be noted that a single analytical method to screen all lipids in a biological system has yet to be developed. Targeted and non-targeted approaches based on chromatography and mass spectrometry have been employed for such studies and they both involve the identification and measurement of lipids in the sample [...]

Automate Shotgun, LC-MS and MALDI-MS Based High-throughput Lipidomics using SimLipid®
February 10, 2017
A combination of different approaches namely ‘Shotgun lipidomics’, LC-MS, and MALDI-TOF is often necessary to detect the whole lipidome of an organism. Each lipid class has its own fragmentation patterns as well as ionization efficiency [1], thereby making the interpretation of MS/MS lipid spectra a challenging task. Currently available software tools lack the ability to analyze data generated by all the mentioned approaches in a single platform. We have developed SimLipid® software to address this challenge [...]
