Lipidomics analytical services

Lipids, as essential life-building blocks, represent a diverse collection of compounds, each boasting unique chemical and physical properties. They play critical roles in several vital biological functions such as energy storage, signal transmission, and forming structural components of cell membranes. Beyond their biological significance, lipids find important applications in sectors like the food and cosmetic industries, further showcasing their versatility.

Lipidomics, the comprehensive study of lipid compounds within biological systems, has shed light on the significant role lipids play in various health conditions and diseases. These include cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

The primary goal of lipidomics is to acquire exhaustive information regarding the types and quantities of lipids present in actual tissues. With our sophisticated lipidomics platform, we achieve accurate separation and quantification of different lipid classes utilizing cutting-edge technologies such as UPLC combined with high-resolution mass spectrometry. Our expertise extends to applying this comprehensive lipidomics platform across a range of sample types, including plasma/serum, whole blood, erythrocytes, tissue, saliva, and more.
