ABSTRACT: In this study, we develop a high-sensitivity lipidomics workflow based on nanoflow liquid chromatography and trapped ion mobility spectrometry. Taking advantage of the PASEF principle, we fragmented on average fifteen precursors in each 100 ms TIMS scans, while maintaining the full mobility resolution of co-eluting isomers. The very high acquisition speed of about 100 Hz allowed us to obtain MS/MS spectra of the vast majority of detected isotope patterns for automated lipid identification. Analyzing 1 uL of human plasma, 100ug of mouse liver and 5e5 HeLa cells PASEF almost doubled the number of identified lipids and reduced the analysis time by a factor of three without loss of coverage. Our single-extraction workflow surpasses the plasma lipid coverage of extensive multi-step protocols in common lipid classes and achieves attomol sensitivity. Building on the high precision and accuracy of TIMS collisional cross section measurements (median CV 0.2%), we compiled 1,856 lipid CCS values from human plasma, mouse liver and human cancer cells.
