Description

Reagent combination of nucleic acid mass spectrum matrix and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mass spectrometry, in particular to a reagent combination of a nucleic acid mass spectrometry matrix, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
In recent years, molecular diagnosis technology is continuously developed, and mainly high-throughput sequencing, PCR reaction, mass spectrometry and the like are available. Compared with other methods, the mass spectrometry has the characteristics of high detection speed, capability of multi-gene multi-site detection, low detection cost and the like. Mass spectrometry uses matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) to volatilize and ionize analytes, and according to the difference in mass of ions themselves, the acceleration speed is different, and particles with small mass arrive at a detector earlier to obtain a corresponding mass spectrum for analysis. The method is widely applied to macromolecular analytes such as proteins, and is gradually applied to the field of nucleic acids in recent years. However, since the molecular weight of nucleic acids is greatly different from that of macromolecules such as proteins, mass spectrometry chips used for mass spectrometry are often not commonly used, and thus a nucleic acid mass spectrometry chip matrix solution prepared from an organic acid capable of forming a homogeneous co-crystal with nucleic acids should be selected. The matrix solution, after solidification, may form co-crystals with the nucleic acid analyte, which may transfer appropriate energy to aid in ionization of the analyte and to protect the analyte from cleavage.
There are a variety of matrix formulations suitable for nucleic acid mass spectrometry, most of which consist of organic acids and ammonium salts. The matrix formulated by such conventional matrix formulations is prone to analyte fragments during analysis of the nucleic acid sample, adduct formation, mass spectrum addition peaks, and significant shifts can be caused by the impact of interpretation of experimental results, particularly low quality analytes. Reducing the generation of mass spectrum addition peaks by altering the formulation of the nucleic acid matrix is the main direction of research in recent years.

The invention discloses a novel matrix formulation suitable for nucleic acid mass spectrometry based on a basic matrix solution formulation of an organic acid and an ammonium salt. The present invention provides a method of preparing a matrix formulation for mass spectrometry. The matrix prepared by the formula has more uniform matrix spots after solidification, the spots are firmly combined with the substrate, the occurrence of addition peaks in an analysis substance spectrogram can be reduced to the greatest extent, the resolution of target peaks is high, and the detection limit is low. The invention mainly researches additives for reducing the addition peak, and matches with a basic matrix detected by nucleic acid mass spectrum to obtain a new matrix formula. Firstly, determining the types of basic matrix organic acid and ammonium salt, and then obtaining a basic nucleic acid mass spectrum matrix formula through different concentration ratios of the basic matrix organic acid and the ammonium salt. When the basic formula is used for analyte analysis, the matrix is found to be non-uniform, the analytical mass spectrum is not highly reproducible and contains adduct peaks due to adducts. Subsequently, several active agents were selected to reduce adduct formation by tuning to different concentrations. Several nano materials are selected for verification in the aspect of improving the uniformity of the matrix. In the actual sample detection, a new addition peak is found to appear, and a free radical scavenger is selected for experiment. And finally, preparing a chip by using the new matrix formula, and verifying an actual sample. All mass spectra were obtained by the same spot application, dispensing onto a substrate under defined dry conditions, introducing the same amount of analyte for mass spectrometry.
The test materials adopted by the invention are all common commercial products and can be purchased in the market. The invention is further illustrated by the following examples.
