Introduction And Objective:
Taking into consideration the challenges of lipid analytics, present study aims to design the best high-throughput workflow for detection and annotation of lipids.
Material And Methods:
Serum lipid profiling was performed on CSH-C18 and EVO-C18 columns using UHPLC Q-TOF-MS and generated lipid features were annotated based on m/z and fragment ion using different software.
Result And Discussion:
Better detection of features was observed in CSH-C18 than EVO-C18 with enhanced resolution except for Glycerolipids (triacylglycerols) and Sphingolipids (sphingomyelin).
Conclusion:
The study revealed an optimized untargeted Lipidomics-workflow with comprehensive lipid profiling (CSH-C18 column) and confirmatory annotation (LipidBlast).
