Omics | Lipidomics

Lipidomics is the comprehensive and quantitative measurement of lipids present in an organism. Lipids are key to cell membrane function, energy storage, and cell signaling. To understand the lipidome, it is desirable to characterize all lipids present. However, the diverse chemical nature and large number of possible lipids creates a substantial analytical challenge. The inherent complexity of lipidomics data sets requires advanced hardware and software tools for data analysis. Agilent introduces lipid-specific software for the Agilent LC/MS profiling lipidomics workflow.
