The First Edition of this well-known and highly successful book was published in 1973 and it has been completely re-written and updated in subsequent editions (published in 1982 and 2003). It is likely that every lipid analyst worldwide will have used one or more of these three earlier Editions. A new Fourth Edition has become necessary because of the pace of developments in mass spectrometry of intact lipids, which has given recognition of lipid analysis and `lipidomics' as a distinct science. To bring the book up to date with these developments, author William W. Christie is joined by co-author Xianlin Han. Although devoting considerable space to mass spectrometry and lipidomics, Lipid Analysis remains a practical guide, in one volume, to the complexities of the analysis of lipids. As in past editions, it is designed to act as a primary source, of value at the laboratory bench rather than residing on a library shelf.

At the AOCS annual meeting this year Dr Christie will be presented with the 2010 Supelco/Nicholas Pelick - AOCS Research Award which recognizes outstanding original research in fats, oils, lipid chemistry, or biochemistry and specifically his substantial research record, and the founding of The Oily Press and the Lipid Library.

Lipid Analysis 4th Edition includes chapters on:
