Advances in Separation Methods for Metabolomics and Lipidomics

Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The increasing need for novel analytical approaches with higher selectivity, speed and coverage is of utmost importance in metabolomics and lipidomics. The ability to quantify and identify different metabolites and lipids in biospecimes, such as biofluids, tissues and lysates, is crucial for prognostics and diagnostics purposes, and furthermore, high-throughput techniques in the clinical setting are highly desirable. This Topic will be focused on the development, validation and application of original methodologies based on hyphenated methods, such as UHPLC-MS, GC-MS, CE-MS, aimed at the qualitative–quantitative analysis of metabolites and lipids in complex matrices such as cells, plasma, serum, urine and tissue homogenates. Particular attention will be given to method optimization, validation, identification and quantitation of the profiled metabolites and lipids.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
