Abstract
In order to allow parallel analysis of free cholesterol (FC) and cholesteryl ester (CE) using ESI-MS/MS Liebisch et al. developed an acetyl chlorid derivatization method to convert FC to cholesterylacetate (CE 2:0). This method shows a precision and detection limit sufficient for routine analysis and due to the short run time of 1,3 min paired with an automated data analysis it allows high-throughput analysis.
Analysed Matrices
EDTA-plasma
Analytes
CE 14:0; CE 15:0; CE 16:0; CE 16:1; CE 17:1; CE 18:3; CE 18:2; CE 18:1; CE 18:0; CE 19:0; CE 20:5; CE 20:4; CE 20:3; CE 20:0; CE 22:6; CE 22:5
Sample Preparation
- 100 μl of CHCl3-solution (containing 100 μg/ml of CE 17:0 and CE 22:0)
- evaporation of solvent
- lipid extraction of 20 μl EDTA-plasma according to Bligh and Dyer (1959)
- drying of CHCl3-phase
- derivatization by adding 200 μl acetyl chloride/CHCl3 (1/5), 60 min, room temperature
- vacuum centrifugation
- dissolvation of residue in NH4OAc(10 mM) in MeOH/CHCl3 (3/1) resulting in a 200-fold dilution corresponding to initial plasma volume
