Separation of different classes in porcine brain extract.
Phospholipids are an important group of biological compounds. Their separation and using LCMS can be difficult to achieve due to MS incompatibility of reagents typically required in the mobile phase.
In this work, phosphatidic acids, phosphatidylserines, and their lyso derivatives were separated and detected in an LCMS method.
Figures A and B demonstrate how the analytes can be detected in either positive or negative mode. Figure C shows the applicability of the technique to a real world sample, a porcine brain extract.
