Contents

Sample preparation

  • Lipid extraction according to Bligh and Dyer
  • internal standards are added prior lipid extraction
  • to avoid the loss of lipids, extraction was performed in glassware
  • samples are dissolved in methanol containing 5 mM ammonium formate/chloroform (3/1 = v/v)
Material Material used Internal Standard(s) Internal Standard(s) added
Cultured cells 100µg protein Cer 14:0, Cer 17:0 50ng each
Human plasma 20µl Cer 14:0, Cer 17:0 50ng each

Data analysis and quantification

Data handling

  • combine spectra above half peak height
  • smooth combined spectrum (if necessary)
  • centroid combined spectrum
  • pick peak intensities

Isotope correction

Calibration and quantification

  • calibration type: matrix calibration - addition of naturally occurring species
  • both [M+H]+ and [M+H-H2O]+ are used
  • species used for calibration
Species Cultured cells Human plasma
Cer 16:0 0-35pmol 0-50pmol
Cer 18:0 0-35pmol 0-50pmol
Cer 20:0 0-35pmol 0-50pmol
Cer 24:1 0-35pmol 0-50pmol
Cer 24:0 0-35pmol 0-50pmol

Method validation

Precision

  • CV over all: below 10% in plasma samples

LOD

  • 0.3 pmol injected amount (in fibroblast lipid extract)

Recovery

  • recovery of Cer 6:0 above 90%
