Introduction

Lipids are exceptionally diverse in their structural, chemical, and physical properties.  A large number of lipids of various classes are present in the cell membranes.  That said, the compositional differences between various membranes, membrane compartments, and microdomains are quantitative, rather than qualitative.

The LTQ Orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer system, coupled to automated nanoflow chip-based electrospray ionization source, is a powerful and versatile tool for lipid analysis.
