Capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for untargeted metabolomics studies, although identification remains a challenge. This study developed a CE-MS search platform, validated its functionality with various biological samples, and determined the RMT tolerance percentage for metabolite searching.
Capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry is a power tool in untargeted metabolomics studies to analyze charged and polar compounds. However, identification is a challenge due to the variability of migration times and the lack of MS/MS spectra in CE-TOF-MS, the type of instruments most frequently employed. We present here a CE-MS search platform incorporated in CEU Mass Mediator to annotate metabolites with a confidence level L2. For its the development we analyzed 226 compounds using two fragmentor voltages: 100 and 200 V. The information obtained, such as relative migration times (RMT) and in-source fragments, were incorporated into the platform. In addition, we validated the CE-MS search functionality using different types of biological samples such as plasma samples (human, rat, and rabbit), mouse macrophages, and human urine. The RMT tolerance percentage for the search of metabolites has been determined, establishing 5% for all compounds, except for the compounds migrating in the electro-osmotic flow, for which the tolerance should be of 10%. It has also been demonstrated the robustness of the in-source fragmentation, which makes possible the annotation of compounds by means of their fragmentation pattern. As an example, 3-methylhistidine and 1-methilhistidine, whose RMT are very close, have been annotated. Studies of the fragmentation mechanisms of acyl-L-carnitines have shown that in-source fragmentation follows the general fragmentation rules and is a suitable alternative to MS/MS.
