Comparison of extraction and work up techniques for analysis of core and intact polar tetraether lipids from sedimentary environments

Glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether-based intact polar lipids (IPL GDGTs) are used as biomarkers for living Archaea and are analyzed utilizing a variety of extraction and quantification techniques. Most IPL GDGT studies have used a modified Bligh–Dyer extraction method, but it has been suggest...
