AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to efficiently separate and quantify arachidonic acid isomers, especially due to their similar molecular weights, chemical structures, and low abundance, leading to difficulties in qualitative and quantitative analysis, low pretreatment efficiency, and a high misjudgment rate.
A magnetic bead-based sample preparation method was adopted, in which carboxyl magnetic beads were modified with N-hydroxysuccinimide and polyethyleneimine (PEI) to bind to arachidonic acid isomers in serum samples. Efficient separation and purification were achieved by covalent coupling and magnetic adsorption techniques, and analysis was performed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
It significantly improves the chromatographic separation resolution of isomeric metabolites, increases detection sensitivity by 10-100 times, shortens single sample processing time to within 30 minutes, and achieves a reaction conversion rate of 98%, laying the foundation for subsequent mass spectrometry-coupled detection.
