Methods for quantitative analysis of proteins by mass spectrometry have progressed dramatically. While isotope-dilution approaches using selected reaction monitoring of tryptic peptides (also known as bottom up) have become common, the potential to use narrow mass extraction of high-resolution mass spectra provides a compelling alternative. We investigated the relationships between instrument performance and data processing with the aim of determining whether this approach can lead to robust bioanalytical assays for proteins. Our approach utilized off-line sample preparation combined with online sample extraction coupled to HPLC with the effluent from the analytical column directed to a high-resolution, high-mass accuracy quadrupole time-of-flight (qTOF) mass spectrometer operated in full scan mode. Narrow mass extraction of a single isotope from IGF-1 in the 7+ charge state (m/z 1093.5209) was used to generate extracted ion chromatograms. We found that with appropriate attention to instrument performance and data processing, quantitative protein assays with good sensitivity, high selectivity, and excellent analytical performance can be developed.
