Abstract

A recent publication from Vasilopoulou et al. reports on the full lipidome profiling by a combination of trapped ion mobility spectrometry (TIMS), parallel accumulation serial fragmentation (PASEF) and nano HPLC. While this is altogether an impressive technological advance, having the potential to i...
