The invention provides a method for detecting the content of
methylmalonic acid in blood, wherein the comprises the following steps: under certain detection conditions, respectively detecting at least three standard solutions by using a high performance liquid tandem
mass spectrometer to obtain chromatograms of the standard solutions, wherein each
standard solution contains a
methylmalonic acid standard substance with known concentration and an
internal standard substance; fitting according to the chromatograms of the standard solutions to obtain a
standard curve equation; uniformly mixing the
internal standard working solution and a blood sample, adding
acetonitrile, uniformly mixing, centrifuging to obtain a supernatant, blow-
drying the supernatant in a heating and
nitrogen blowing manner, adding an
aqueous solution containing 0-2% of
formic acid and 0-20% of
acetonitrile after blow-
drying, uniformly mixing, and centrifuging to obtain a supernatant to obtain a to-be-detected sample; detecting the to-be-detected sample to obtain a chromatogram of the to-be-detected sample; and calculating the content of
methylmalonic acid in the blood sample according to the chromatogram of the to-be-detected sample and the
standard curve equation. According to the scheme, the method for detecting the content of methylmalonic acid in blood is provided, the sample pretreatment operation is simple, and the cost is low.
