“…Previously, we reported the detection of a mixture of four electrophore-labeled DNA oligomers (6), and, in a separate study (7), of albumin labeled with six different electrophores, by electron capture mass spectrometry (EC-MS). While these results were encouraging, the synthetic strategies that we used to prepare the electrophore tags did not open up a practical way to make a large number of them.…”

Releasable electrophore mass tags (electrophore tags) are compounds for use as labels in ligand assays such as hybridization assays and immunoassays. In such assays, the electrophore-tagged reagent (e.g., DNA probe or antibody) is quantified at the conclusion of the assay by cleaving a bond in the attached tag so that the electrophore part can be brought into the gas phase (usually thermally) for detection by electron capture mass spectrometry (EC-MS) or a related technique. Interest in these tags is promoted mainly by their potential to provide highly sensitive and multiplexed assays. The high multiplexing arises from the opportunity to measure many such tags simultaneously in the mass spectrometer, where each tag has an electrophore part with a unique mass. In this study five precursors of electrophore mass tags are presented. Each precursor can lead to a large library of electrophore tags in a practical way, since each precursor can be converted to many different electrophore tags by reaction with commonly available phenols that provide a variation in mass. The phenol-reactive part of the tag is either a polyfluorobiphenyl or a benzyl chloride moiety. Representative library compounds are prepared and detected in an inert ester form by gas chromatography electron capture mass spectrometry (GC-EC-MS). Further, one tag is conjugated to DNA, and the resulting product is detected by laser-induced electron capture time-of-flight mass spectrometry on a silver surface. A calculation by the semiempirical method AM1 for an ion formed by one of the electrophores suggests that ring rotation promotes dissociative electron capture. The features of practical synthesis, simple composition, physicochemical stability, high multiplicity, high sensitivity, and potential for high throughput detection make releasable electrophore mass tags attractive for highly multiplexed assays. This includes their use in SNP assays or dideoxy DNA sequencing for detection of mutations in individuals, where the combination of high accuracy and speed is essential.
