Sphingolipids are an essential subset of bioactive lipids found in most eukaryotic cells that contribute to membrane biophysical properties and are involved in cellular differentiation, recognition, and mediating interactions. The described nanoHPLC-ESI-Q/ToF methodology utilizes known biosynthetic pathways, accurate mass detection, optimized collision-induced disassociation, and a robust nanoflow chromatographic separation for the analysis of intact sphingolipids found in human tissue, cells, and serum. The methodology was developed and validated with an emphasis on addressing the common issues experienced in profiling these amphipathic lipids, which are part of the glycocalyx and lipidome. The high sensitivity obtained using nanorange flow rates with robust chromatographic reproducibility over a wide range of concentrations and injection volumes results in confident identifications for profiling these low-abundant biomolecules.
