5th, the cumbersome time-consuming analysis process of conventional liquid phase thin-layer chromatography-mass spectrum is converted into similar gas chromatography-mass spectrometry by the present invention With (GC-MS) or liquid chromatograph mass spectrography (LC-MS) process, entirely analyzing only needs two steps:Point sample, beginning liquid phase Thin-layer chromatography-mass spectrometry process, then only needs to wait for more than ten minutes, you can take analysis result.It is square in itself with reference to TLC Just, low cost, without as the cylinder of GC or LC need complex maintenance the advantages of, thin layer of liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy (LTLC-MS) There to be very wide application prospect.
The solution of the present invention is explained below in conjunction with embodiment.It will be understood to those of skill in the art that following implementation Example is merely to illustrate the present invention, and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, Mass spectrum model Thermo the LTQ XL, USA for being used.Unreceipted particular technique or condition in embodiment, according to this Technology described by document or condition in field are carried out according to product description.Agents useful for same or the unreceipted production of instrument Manufacturer person, be can by city available from conventional products.In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, term " phase To intensity " refer to the intensity at each peak in actual spectrogram and the ratio of the peak intensity of highest peak in spectrogram.
The aminopyrine standard sample of embodiment 1 is detected
Using thin layer of liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer coupling device of the invention to aminopyrine (being purchased from Sigma companies) standard sample Product are measured.
Aminopyrine ethanol as solvent is made into 10-3The solution of mol/L.The μ L points of matched somebody with somebody solution about 0.5 are taken to completing in advance On the TLC plates of pencil matrix (uniformly being coated at test point using conventional Pencil with 2B hardness).Then by TLC plates upper end with turn Joint is close to fix, and is oppositely arranged with laser entrance at middle pencil substrate application.Solvent used herein is mixed solvent, That is carbon tetrachloride:Ethyl acetate:Methyl alcohol volume ratio is 3:3:1 mixed solvent.After 500mL solvents being drawn with syringe Connection respective line, is fixed on syringe pump.After everything in readiness, argon gas auxiliary gas (flow velocity about 60 is opened successively ML/min), glow discharge ion source voltage (- 3000V), syringe pump (solvent flow velocity is 85 μ L/min herein), mass spectrum Instrument, diode laser laser (1.1A, pulse length 0.05s, frequency 0.04Hz), it is to obtain that 10min is waited afterwards The chromatographic mass spectrometry figure of aminopyrine.
In the present embodiment, TLC plates are disposed vertically, and solvent launches to sample from top to bottom.
Fig. 3 a are the extraction ion flow graph of resulting aminopyrine signal.Because laser used is pulse laser, thus color Spectral peak is made up of corresponding sub- peak.It can be seen that launch peak type be essentially normal distribution, illustrate TLC separation processes and Do not interfered between Mass Spectrometer Method process, realize separation synchronous with detection.Fig. 3 b are signal most strength in Fig. 3 a Corresponding mass spectrogram (after background correction).Aminopyrine mass signal (m/z 232) the intensity signal to noise ratio is very good.
Embodiment 2, aminopyrine and 6-Methylcoumarin biased sample are detected
Aminopyrine is measured with the isometric biased sample of the equimolar concentration of 6-Methylcoumarin.
By aminopyrine 10-3The solution of mol/L and 6-Methylcoumarin 10-3Mol/L ethanol solutions 1:1 mixing, takes 0.5 μ L Put onto the TLC plates for completing pencil matrix in advance.Remaining step is with embodiment 1.
Fig. 4 a are the superposition that mixture extracts ion flow graph.It can be seen that two chromatographic peaks have reached baseline separation, Further demonstrate the actual application ability of the method.Matter of Fig. 4 b corresponding to signal most strength in No. 1 peak in Fig. 4 a Spectrogram, mass spectrograms of Fig. 4 c corresponding to signal most strength in Fig. 4 a (after background correction).
