Have you ever wondered how skin samples are acquired for lipidomics analysis?

A skin sampling tape disc is placed on the respective body part and peeled off after a few seconds of pressure. Skin sticks to the tape, and its sebum lipids and stratum corneum lipids can be extracted for lipidomics analysis. Placing multiple tapes on the same spot at once can be used for quick triplicate sampling, and sequential tape stripping allows for skin depth analysis.
