Selective and efficient preconcentration is indispensable for low concentration of phosphopeptides in phosphorylated protein-related samples prior to MS-based analysis. Herein, an on-chip system coupled magnetic SPE with MALDI-TOF MS was designed. A metal oxide affinity chromatography material, indium oxide, was coated on the surface of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles to prepare the adsorbent, spatially confined with an applied magnetic field. The adsorbent exhibited high selectivity for phosphopeptides in tryptic digests of the mixture of-casein and BSA (1:1000) and the mixture of-casein, BSA, and ovalbumin (1:100:100). Thanking to the enrichment ability and specificity for phosphopeptides with the adsorbent, the on-chip magnetic SPE-MALDI-TOF MS approach showed high sensitivity with a low detection limit of 4 fmol. In addition, the developed approach was used to analyze phosphopetides in non-fat milk digests and human serum successfully.
