abstract = "The ability to discriminately analyze the chemical constituents of single cells and organelles is highly sought after and necessary to establish true biomarkers. Some major challenges of individual cell analysis include requirement and expenditure of a large sample of cells as well as extensive extraction and separation techniques. Here, we describe methods to perform individual cell and organelle extractions of both tissues and cells in vitro using nanomanipulation coupled to mass spectrometry. Lipid profiles display heterogeneity from extracted adipocytes and lipid droplets, demonstrating the necessity for single cell analysis. The application of these techniques can be applied to other cell and organelle types for selective and thorough monitoring of disease progression and biomarker discovery.",
