Shotgun lipidomics

  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-010830",
  "term": "Shotgun lipidomics",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "An analytical approach in lipidomics that involves the direct analysis of total lipid extracts without prior chromatographic separation. This method typically uses mass spectrometry to identify and quantify a broad spectrum of lipid species present in a biological sample. It relies on the unique mass-to-charge ratios and fragmentation patterns of different lipid classes and molecular species for their characterization.",
