Services

The EILMC offers the ability to identify and quantify lipid species (e.g. fatty acids, phospholipids, ceramides, sphingosines, cholesterols, bile acids) and metabolites (e.g. amino acids, TCA intermediates, organic acids) from a variety of tissue types. We also offer custom lipidomic and metabolomic analyses to fit your research needs.

Services include:

• Sample preparation via automated and robust sample handling instrument manifold. Traditional traditional lipid extraction protocols using organic solvents, i.e. Bligh and Dyer, Folch Method, and others performed upon request. 

• Global lipidomics analyses using liquid chromatography coupled to high-sensitivity, high-resolution orbitrap mass spectrometers. This approach surveys lipid species in sample by exact mass and characteristic peaks in product ion spectra.

• Targeted lipidomics analyses via triple quadrupole mass spectrometry to specifically target phospholipids classes or lipid species by precursor ion scanning or key transitions.  

• Consultation of how to correctly handle and/or prepare lipid samples as well as experimental design to appropriately address lipid solubility and transfer issues and others. 

• Customized lipidomics analysis provided upon request.

• Consultation for data analysis.
