MS analyses were performed on an Orbitrap Fusion Lumos instrument (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Bremen, Germany) equipped with a robotic nanoflow ion source (TriVersa NanoMate, Advion BioSciences, Ithaca, NY, USA) using chips with a spraying nozzle diameter of 5.5 µm. The back pressure was set at 1 psi. The ionization voltages were +1.3 kV and −1.9 kV in positive and negative modes, respectively, whereas it was +1.5 kV in acquisitions with polarity switching. The temperature of the ion transfer capillary was 260 °C. Acquisitions were performed at mass resolution Rm/z 200 = 240,000 in full scan mode. In the polarity switching method, spectra were acquired within the mass range of m/z 400–1300 from 0.2 to 0.6 min in the negative and from 0.8 to 1.2 min in the positive polarity mode. Phosphatidylcholine (diacyl, PC and alkyl-acyl, PC-O), phosphatidylethanolamine (diacyl, PE and alkenyl-acyl, PE-P), phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidic acid (PA), phosphatidylglycerol (PG)/bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP), cardiolipin (CL), and the lyso derivatives LPC, LPE, LPI, LPS, LPG, and LCL as well as ceramide (Cer), hexosyl ceramide (HexCer), GM3 ganglioside, and sulfatide (Sulf) were detected and quantified using the negative ion mode, whereas sphingomyelin (SM), diacylglycerol (DG), triacylglycerol (TG), and cholesteryl ester (CE) were detected and quantified using the positive ion mode. In addition, PCs were also analyzed in the positive ion mode, and we detected and profiled higher brain gangliosides (GD3, GD1, GT1, and GQ1) in the negative polarity mode.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
