A simple and reproducible method for quantification of human tear lipids with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Conclusions: IPA precipitation is an excellent procedure for extracting lipids from small tear volumes for quantitative large-scale, untargeted lipid profiling, which may be useful for identifying lipid biomarkers in tears from patients with different ocular surface pathologies, allowing personalized therapies to be designed.
