Lipids in Human Serum pg/ml Wikipedia : Reference ranges for blood tests - by mass.svg mg/ml Total cholesterol ~ 2 mg/ml > 6 orders of magnitude Trace oxysterols < 2 ng/ml Triglycerides ~ 1 mg/ml Phospholipids ~ 2 mg/ml Sphingolipids ~ 0.5 mg/ml mg/ml Cholesterol Cholesteryl ester
General Steps of Lipid Extraction and Purification 1) Solvent extraction (DCM/MeOH) 2) Base hydrolysis 200μL serum + standards KOH, 60 C Organic-soluble (lipids) Insoluble material/ proteins 4) Solid phase extraction Condition With Load sample hexane in hexane Hexane rinse 23:1 CHCl 3 :MeOH 3) Liquid-Liquid Extraction 5) LC-MS Aqueous (MeOH/H 2 O) Organic (lipids) (DCM/MeOH) Non polar lipids Sterols + oxysterols
