Expert Services

Lipidomics & Lipid Analysis Services – Rely on our decades of collective expertise and state-of-the-art facilities for untargeted lipidomics and targeted lipid analysis.
- Untargeted (Discovery) Lipidomics – Provides a semiquantitative overview of many of the more abundant molecular species in a sample across most lipid categories.
- Targeted Lipid Analysis – Provides semiquantitative or quantitative analysis of specific lipid molecular species within a sample. We have a variety of established targeted lipid panels available and offer analysis of smaller groups of lipids or single lipid analytes. Available panels include:
  - Fatty acids
  - Short-chain fatty acids
  - Polyunsaturated fatty acids
  - Oxylipins
  - Bile acids
  - Endocannabinoids
  - Cholesterol esters
  - Glycerophospholipids
  - Oxidized phospholipids
  - Sphingolipids I: Ceramides, mono- and di-hexosylceramides, and sphingomyelins
  - Sphingolipids II: Sphingosine, sphinganine, S1P, and ceramide phosphates
  - Sphingolipids III: Glucosylceramides, galactosylceramides, and glucosphingosine
  - Sphingolipids IV: Gangliosides
  - Sphingolipids V: Globosides and other complex glycosphingolipids
