Abstract Since separation in the nanoflow ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (nUHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) is carried out at nanoflow rate regimes, performances of separation can be improved with the increased resolution with the minimization of sample amounts to be injected and the consumption of organic solvents. However, when a large number of sample analysis is required, a high speed separation is necessary for nUHPLC compared to the typical gradient elution condition that requires 30 min for a separation of lipids with broad classes without incurring spectral congestion in MS detection. This study demonstrated that high-throughput and rapid lipid analysis can be carried out within 10 minutes of separation by adjusting gradient elution condition with the increase of flowrates but without increasing the spectral congestion. The average peak width can be decreased to 0.14 min for PC 16:0/16:0 in a 10 min run condition compared to 0.15 min for a 30 min run condition with the standard deviation of retention time in repeated measurements as 1.68 s. The plate numbers of PC 16:0/16:0 can be above 330,000. In addition, MS detection efficiencies of lipid species upon increasing separation speed was evaluated with lipid standards spiked to a serum sample.
