秀丽隐杆线虫简称线虫,是应用非常多的模式动物,它体积小,身长约1毫米,易于培养。普通的秀丽隐杆线虫在实验室中平均寿命约为18-20天,每个线虫可产生约300个后代。线虫作为模式生物已经应用在发育、衰老、代谢等多个领域,成为生命科学研究中非常重要的模式生物。Caenorhabditis elegans, referred to as nematode for short, is a model animal with many applications. It is small in size, about 1 mm in length, and easy to cultivate. Common C. elegans live an average of about 18-20 days in the lab, and each worm can produce about 300 offspring. As a model organism, nematodes have been used in many fields such as development, aging, and metabolism, and have become very important model organisms in life science research.

线虫的脂肪酸含量在一定程度上可以反映线虫的代谢水平,而且与线虫的寿命相关。因此测量不同线虫体内的脂肪酸含量有重要的科学意义。传统的线虫脂肪酸含量的测量方法主要是基于气相色谱的方法对线虫脂肪酸的含量进行测量。传统的测量方法非常复杂、不易于操作,因此非常需要开发其它方便易用的方法来测量线虫体内的脂肪酸含量。The fatty acid content of nematodes can reflect the metabolic level of nematodes to a certain extent, and is related to the lifespan of nematodes. Therefore, it is of great scientific significance to measure the fatty acid content in different nematodes.
