A method of making a set of labelled compounds by the use of a preferably particulate support, comprises dividing the support into lots, performing a different chemical reaction on each lot of the support, e.g. to couple a chemical moiety to that lot of the support, tagging a fraction of each lot of the support with a different label, and combining the said lots of the support. The steps are repeated several times, preferably to build up oligomer molecules carrying labels which identify the nature and position of a monomer unit of the oligomer, and which are releasable from the support. Preferred labels, which are releasable from the compounds by cleavage to provide charged groups for analysis by mass spectrometry, are groups of the trityl (trimethylphenyl) family. Also claimed are libraries of these labels and their use in assays and nucleic acid analysis methods.
使用一种最好是颗粒状的载体来制造一组标记化合物的方法,包括将载体分成若干批次,在每批载体上进行不同的化学反应,例如将化学分子与该批载体耦合,用不同的标签标记每批载体的一部分,然后将所述批次的载体合并。这些步骤重复多次,最好能形成带有标签的低聚物分子,这些标签可识别低聚物单体单元的性质和位置,并可从支撑物上释放。首选的标签是三甲基苯基基团,这些标签可通过裂解从化合物中释放出来,从而提供带电基团用于质谱分析。本发明还涉及这些标签的文库及其在检测和核酸分析方法中的应用。
