Untargeted Lipidomics Service
Lipidomics can study the structure, function, and interaction of various lipids, as well as the regulation of the physiological and pathological states of the body. Untargeted lipidomics helps to discover important key lipid metabolites in the body, clarify the relationship between lipids and various diseases, and promote the study of the mechanism of various life activities.
Creative Proteomics provides untargeted lipidomics services, which can separate and identify all lipid compounds and their metabolites in biological samples to screen for biomarkers. We provide untargeted lipidomics services for many fields, including agricultural science, biomarkers, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes and obesity research, clinical diagnosis, drug discovery, and systems biology.
Our Untargeted Lipidomics Services
- Shot-gun untargeted lipidomics
Shot-gun lipidomics directly introduces lipids and detects the lipids by MS, with separation of lipids achieved solely on the basis of mass-to-charge ratio. We use a new shotgun lipidomics platform was established by combining an Orbitrap Fusion mass spectrometer with a TriVersa Nanomate nanoelectrospray ion source. One example of the shotgun workflow is demonstrated below.

Advantages of shot-gun strategy
- No LC separation, fast, minimum sample consumption.
- Up to 500,000 resolution removes interferences, 1ppm mass accuracy.
- A four-pole mass filter is used to allow the ion trap and orbitrap mass analyzer to operate in parallel, thereby obtaining excellent sensitivity and selectivity
- Multiple dissociation techniques—CID, HCD, and optional ETD—with ion trap or Orbitrap detection at any level of MSn maximize flexibility for research applications.
- LC-MS Untargeted Lipidomics
Although shot-gun lipidomics can answer many of the needs associated with sample lipid profiling, some workflows do require chromatographic separation before MS analysis. For example, the quantification of isobaric lipids can only be done if the lipids are somehow separated before entering the mass spectrometer.
In these cases, we would choose a column that is suitable for the separation of your lipids of interest and use ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography equipped with different mass spectrometry systems to analyze the untargeted lipidomics. One example of the LC-MS lipidomics workflow is demonstrated below.

Advantages of LC-MS strategy
- The ACQUITY UPLC System can reduce ion suppression caused by coeluted lipids and isobaric interferences, and it can often separate isomers.
- Chromatographic separation before an MS analysis is still necessary for analyzing very low-abundance signaling lipids.
- A partial chromatographic separation helps avoid the isotopic effects, which affect the actual mass abundance during direct-infusion experiments.
