Information and experience gained at the Scottish Crop Research Institute (Invergowrie, Dundee, Scotland (DD2 5DA) has been used to produce the following series of web documents, as a free service to scientists and students everywhere. |
This website is sponsored by Mylnefield Lipid Analysis. Consult them for all your analytical needs. |
- All about lipids
Definitions, structures, composition, occurrence, biochemistry and functions of most types of fatty acids and lipids. W.W. Christie
- Mass spectrometry of fatty acid derivatives
This section contains over 550 mass spectra together with a commentary on each, an extensive bibliography, and practical advice on methods in convenient sections. Archive pages contain more than 1640 (mainly unpublished) spectra. W.W. Christie.
- Selected topics in the analysis of lipids
A number of short articles on those aspects of analysis that have particularly interested us for the journal 'Lipid Technology', with longer articles from 'Advances in Lipid Methodology - One and Two' (P.J. Barnes & Associates - www.pjbarnes.co.uk).
- NMR
chemical shifts for fatty acids and their derivatives
These articles by guest authors Frank Gunstone and Gerhard Knothe are concerned with the chemical shifts that have been reported for a wide range of fatty acids and their derivatives.
- Literature surveys of analytical methodology
Lists of references, by year and topic, culled from our frequent surveys and comprehensive data base, including a current awareness service. For the most recent references, click here.
- What's new?
Summary of recent changes to the site, items of general interest, a Calendar of appropriate conferences, etc., e.g. the Symposium we are organizing on omega-3 fatty acids. We also have a page of Links to useful sites.
- Courses - we assist with those run by MRS Lipid Analysis on "Lipid Chemistry and Analysis".
