Abstract

The invention provides a single cell mass spectrometry method. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out cell immobilization and dilution treatment on cells to be detected so as to obtaina pretreated cell suspension liquid; injecting the pretreated cell suspension liquid into an inner cavity from a tail end of a capillary tube, wherein an electrode is inserted into the inner cavity;applying a voltage to the electrode so that the cells migrate to a capillary tip; completely evaporating the liquid in the capillary tube; dropwise adding an auxiliary liquid to the capillary tip, enabling the auxiliary liquid to enter the capillary tube to be in contact with the cells, extracting a target object; and meanwhile, applying the voltage to the electrode to perform electrospray so thatthe auxiliary liquid containing the target object is ionized, sprayed out from the tip and entering a sample inlet of a mass spectrometer to perform mass spectrometry. According to the method, sampling and mass spectrometry of the single cell can be achieved without depending on a high-precision control platform, identification of a double bond position of unsaturated lipids in the single cell can be achieved in combination with a photochemical derivation process, and an application prospect is good.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of biology. In particular, the present invention relates to single cell mass spectrometry methods. Background technique [0002] There will be large differences between individuals in the cell population of the same genotype, that is, cell heterogeneity. There are significant differences between cells in gene transcription, protein expression, metabolism and other aspects. Therefore, single-cell analysis is of great significance for the study of intercellular heterogeneity. A variety of technologies have been widely used in single-cell analysis, such as single-cell sequencing, fluorescence detection technology, microfluidic technology, flow cytometry, mass spectrometer, etc. Among them, mass spectrometers are widely used in single-cell analysis due to their high sensitivity, accurate structure identification, and quantitative analysis. However, the small size and volume of cells themselves pose great chall...
