LipidQuan: A Targeted Lipid Profiling Solution
5 Feb 2019Although advances in mass spectrometry (MS) have allowed for more in-depth lipdomic analysis, unambiguous identification and quantification has proven difficult as lipids exhibit a high number of isomeric and isobaric species. Furthermore, MS spectra often contain peaks and fragments from multiple compounds making confident identification and relative quantification of specific molecular species difficult and time consuming. As a result, the transfer of lipidomic data between laboratories is severely hindered and making multi-site study interpretation problematic.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
