Strategy for MS-based novel lipid identification. Glycerophospholipids from biological extracts are separated by HPLC chromatography. Unknown peaks are subjected to MS/MS or MSn analysis to tentatively identify lipids. Synthetic standards are then used to confirm the lipid identity using HPLC retention time (RT) and MSn fragmentation patterns.
