The utility of negative ionization micro electrospray (microspray) mass spectrometry is demonstrated for detection of oligonucleotides and their noncovalent complexes. A simple microspray ionization source is fabricated from an outer stainless-steel needle and an inner fused-silica capillary. Under

β¦ Synopsis
Oligonucleotides have become widely used tools in molecular biology and molecular diagnostics. Their parallel synthesis in large numbers and the increasing interest in microarray technology has raised the requirement for fast and informative analytical tools for their quality control. A direct injection electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) technique based on the use of aqueous 2-propanol as running eluent, and spermidine (or triethylamine) as DNA modifiers, has been applied to analyze a large set of samples (about 200 synthetic oligonucleotides) ranging from 5 to 15 kDa (17-51mers) with good results in terms of sensitivity, suppression of sodium adduct formation, and speed of analysis.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry has been used to study the possible non-covalent interaction between oligonucleotides and beauvericin (B) mycotoxin. Beauvericin-oligonucleotide adduct formation was observed even at low mycotoxin concentration (25 pmol/microL). Adducts were found with diffe
