This invention belongs to the field of
biomedical technology and discloses a DBS-LC-MS / MS method for the simultaneous detection of seven types of metabolites in
dried blood spots. The method employs a pH / polarity dual-trigger microcapsule
solvent carrier system, which internally encapsulates high, medium, and low polarity extraction solvents in
layers. During extraction, these solvents are released sequentially according to local pH and polarity changes, efficiently extracting amino acids, acylcarnitines, organic acids, bile acids, steroids, fatty acids, and
sugar metabolism intermediates, respectively. This invention overcomes the inherent limitations of traditional static
solvent systems and solves the problem of unbalanced
recovery rates caused by insufficient
solvent compatibility in the extraction of seven types of metabolites with vastly different polarities in
dried blood spots. It significantly improves the accuracy, reproducibility, and coverage of the DBS-LC-MS / MS platform in the simultaneous detection of multiple metabolites, providing reliable
technical support for newborn screening for inherited metabolic diseases, diagnosis of endocrine diseases, and
drug metabolism research.
