This video demonstrates a technique for the preliminary separation and quantification of lipids from human peripheral blood-derived neutrophils. This technique helps in the initial evaluation of target analytes before proceeding with HPLC.
Protocol
1. High-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC) to semi-quantify the amount of several lipids, including cholesterol, phospholipids, and sphingomyelin Prepare the following four running solutions and staining solutions. Solution 1: Mix ethyl acetate (26.6%), 1-propanol (26.6%), chloroform (26.6%), methanol (26.6%), and potassium chloride (9.6%). Prepare KCl by dissolving 0.25 g of KCl in 100 mL of HPLC-quality water. Solution 2: Mix n-hexane (73%), diethyl ether (23%), and citric …
