Current state-of-the-art of separation methods used in LC-MS based metabolomics and lipidomics

Eva-Maria Harrieder et al.

Summary: Metabolomics and lipidomics involve the large-scale analysis of metabolites, requiring advanced analytical methods. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is a commonly used technique that provides different selectivities in separation and high sensitivity in detection. Due to the huge chemical diversity, there is no single analysis method that can cover the entire range of metabolites or lipids, leading to the use of different separation methods. This review explores the current use of LC-MS in metabolomics and lipidomics using data from public databases, and highlights potential future trends and improvements needed.
