Abstract:
BACKGROUND: At present, in the quality control file or technical standards of in vitro fertilization medium, indicators for component contents and detection methods have not yet been defined. To ensure the safety and effectiveness of these products, we should try to establish and improve the quality standards. OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneously testing 18 kinds of amino acids by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass-spectrometry (UHPLC-MSMS), and to analyze the difference in the content of different amino acids in the medium for different uses. METHODS: Using the UHPLC-MSMS, we detected the indicator components of 18 different amino acids in the in vitro fertilization medium. These amino acids included glycine, leucine, methionine, tyrosine, histidine, threonine, alanine, isoleucine, tryptophan, cystine, lysine, aspartic acid, valine, phenylalanine, valine, serine, glutamic acid, arginine. The UHPLC separation was performed on a SUPELCO Discovery HS F5-3 column (15 cm×2.1 mm, 3 μm) in a gradient elute mode with acetonitrile and water (both containing 0.1% formic acid) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.35 mL/min. The column temperature was 40 ℃. MS detection was performed with multiple-reaction monitoring mode using negative electro spray ionization. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The linearity was achieved in the range of 0.25-12.5 mmol/L for the 18 different amino acids. The average recovery rate of these amino acids ranged 86.3% to 125.3%. The relative standard deviation of the precision experiment and the repeatability experiment was less than 4.7%. These findings indicate that this is a sensitive, rapid, accurate, and specific method that can be used for the quality control of in vitro fertilization medium.
