Lipids CLASS

Scientist at Creative Proteomics ultilize GC methods to Profile Neutral or Phospho-Lipids. Lipids are extracted from plasma, tissue or cells using a modified Folch method, and analyzed as either total lipid content, or separated on a TLC plate for analysis of each individual lipid class. Lipids are hydrolyzed prior to GC analysis. GC Analysis provides quantitation of lipids in each class by fatty acid chain length, but does not provide individual molecular structures. Researchers can choose how many total lipid classes to analyze, and should consult the Core Director for pricing based on the number of lipid classes requested. This unique method covers more than 1,100 molecular species across 16 lipid classes, including principle phospholipid, sphingolipid and neutral lipid classes.
