Mass Spectrometry for Lipidomics All-in-one guide to successful lipidomic analysis, combining the latest advances and best practices from academia, industry, and clinical research Mass Spectrometry for Lipidomics presents a systematic overview of lipidomic analysis, covering established standards of lipid analysis, available technology, and key lipid classes, as well as applications in basic research, medicine, pharma, and the food industry. Through connecting recent technological advances with key application areas, this unique guide bridges the gap between academia and industry by translating the vast body of knowledge that has been gained in the past decade into much-needed practical advice for novices as well as routine users. Edited by the president and vice-president of the International Lipidomics Society with contributions from the top experts in lipid analysis, Mass Spectrometry for Lipidomics covers a wide range of key topics, including: Aspects of sample preparation, separation methods, different mass spectrometry modes, as well as identification and quantitation, including the use of bioinformatics tools for data analysisIdentification, quantitation and profiling of lipids in different types of biological samplesAnalytical approaches for all major classes of biological lipids, from fatty acids to phospholipids to sterolsNovel applications in biological research, clinical diagnostics, as well as food and crop scienceFor analytical chemists, biochemists, clinical chemists, and analytical laboratories and hospitals, Mass Spectrometry for Lipidomics presents a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the subject, with unmatched expertise from practicing professionals actively involved in the latest research.

Focusing on the practical applications, this user-oriented guide presents current technologies and strategies for systems-level lipid analysis, going beyond basic research to concentrate on commercial uses of lipidomics in biomarker and diagnostic development, as well as within pharmaceutical drug discovery and development. The editor and authors have experience of the most recent analytical instruments and techniques, allowing them to provide here first-hand practical experience for newcomers to the field. The first half of the book covers current methodologies, ranging from global to targeted lipidomics and shotgun approaches, while the second part discusses the role of lipidomics in biomedical and pharmaceutical research, covering such diverse fields as inflammation, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular and neurological disease. Both small and large-scale, high-throughput approaches are discussed, resulting in an invaluable source for academic and industrial research and development.
