Plasma Lipidomics
We help you explore the lipid composition of your plasma samples.
The Plasma
Plasma is the liquid portion of blood obtained by centrifuging anticoagulated samples, typically with EDTA or heparin. In contrast, serum is collected after clotting and therefore lacks clotting factors, which can alter lipid composition. Because plasma preserves the full spectrum of circulating lipids in a state closer to physiological conditions, it is generally the preferred matrix for lipidomics studies.
Plasma lipidomics captures a wide range of lipid classes, including phospholipids, neutral lipids, sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, ether-linked lipids, and cholesterol. Analyzing this lipid variety allows for a comprehensive assessment of lipid metabolism and its alterations in health and disease.
Lipotype lipidomics supports plasma-based analysis with high-resolution and quantitative profiling of hundreds of lipid species. This detailed approach allows researchers to detect subtle metabolic shifts and connect them with biological processes, supporting studies of complex disorders such as cardiovascular, metabolic, and autoimmune diseases.
Plasma lipidomics is a powerful method for translational research. Its reproducibility and scalability make mass spectrometry-based plasma lipidomics particularly valuable for biomarker discovery, patient stratification, and precision medicine, directly linking lipid biology to clinical outcomes.
