Popis: Highlights • UPLC-MSE based method for lipid separation and identification. • The method is suitable for polar and non-polar lipid species. • Excellent separation of lipid species within lipid classes. • Identification of low abundant lipid species. • May be combined with ESI-MS both in positive and negative ionization mode.
A new UPLC-based untargeted lipidomic approach using a qTOF hybrid mass spectrometer is introduced. The applied binary gradient enables separations of lipid species including constitutional isomeric compounds and low abundant lipid classes such as phosphatidic acid (PA). Addition of phosphoric acid to the solvents improves peak shapes for acidic phospholipids. MSE scans allow simultaneous acquisition of full scan data and collision induced fragmentation to improve identification of lipid classes and to obtain structural information. The method was used to investigate the lipidome of yeast.
