The invention discloses a method for detecting the contents of VMA, HVA and 5-HIAA in
urine by using liquid
chromatography-
tandem mass spectrometry. The method comprises the following steps: S1, removing VMA, HVA and 5-HIAA in
urine to obtain a blank
urine matrix; s2, weighing VMA, HVA and 5-HIAA
solid powder, fixing the volume with
methanol, mixing the dissolved liquids, diluting with
methanol-water to obtain a VMA, HVA and 5-HIAA working solution, and finally diluting step by step with a blank urine matrix to obtain a calibration product; s3, respectively taking a
urine sample to be detected, the calibration substance and the
quality control substance, adding the mixed
internal standard working solution of VMA, HVA and 5-HIAA isotopes, uniformly mixing, centrifuging, and taking supernate; s4, separating the supernate by using liquid
chromatography; s5, the separated supernate enters a
mass spectrum to be detected, and the content of VMA, HVA and 5-HIAA in the
urine sample to be detected is obtained. The detection method disclosed by the invention is simple and rapid in pretreatment, high in specificity, low in
reagent consumption cost, free of environmental
pollution, small in required sample size, easy in high-
throughput operation and suitable for being developed into a kit for conventional clinical detection.
