Lipidomic Analysis.

ABSTRACT

The state-of-art in the lipidomic analysis is summarized here to provide the overview of available sample preparation strategies, mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods for the qualitative analysis of lipids, and the quantitative MS approaches for high-throughput clinical workflows. Major challenges in terms of widely accepted best practices for lipidomic analysis, nomenclature, and standards for data reporting are discussed as well.
