The identification of pheromones (chemical communication cues) is critical to our understanding of complex social behavior in insects and other animals. In this chapter, we describe analytical methods for the purification of lipid pheromones by thin layer chromatography and the quantification and determination of their elemental composition by mass spectrometry.
信息素(化学通讯线索)的鉴定对于我们理解昆虫和其他动物的复杂社会行为至关重要。在本章中,我们描述了通过薄层色谱法纯化脂质信息素的分析方法,以及通过质谱法对其元素组成进行定量和测定的方法。
