Abstract
Ensuring quality and reproducibility of large-scale, large-panel LC-MS-based lipidomics analyses is critical but still challenging. Experimental design, sample processing, matrix effects, instrumental variations and data processing can all introduce variations and inter- and intra-assay batch effects, which can bias or cofound experimental readouts. We here explore frequently used and novel quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) strategies based on internal standards, different QC sample types, reference materials and different corresponding data processing methods and software tools. We demonstrate these strategies with analyses of large-scale studies and specifically designed tests.
