The invention relates to the technical field of
analytical chemistry mass spectrum imaging, in particular to a P-B reaction online detection
system and method, and the
system comprises a sample fixing unit, a multi-dimensional control platform, a fluid transmission unit, an auxiliary
catalysis unit and a
mass spectrum acquisition unit. According to the present invention, the P-B reaction and the
mass spectrometry
imaging technology are combined, the P-B reaction is adopted to generate the
oxetane structure at the
double bond through the
ultraviolet light induced [2 + 2]
cycloaddition reaction, and the characteristic fragment is generated after the
collision induced dissociation so as to achieve the accurate positioning of the
double bond position, and solve the problem of the lipid isomer
spatial distribution analysis; meanwhile, accurate positioning and analysis of lipid carbon-carbon
double bond positions in a complex biological sample are realized by utilizing high sensitivity and spatial resolution capability of a
mass spectrum imaging technology; the method can be applied to the fields of biomedical research, metabonomics and
drug development, and an innovative
analysis method is provided for lipid molecular
structure analysis and function research.
