The effect of sample containers made of different materials on the MS-based analysis of oligonucleotides remains unknown. Here, we evaluated five types of sample containers on the MS signal stability of oligonucleotide, and they were normal glass insert, silanized glass insert with three different silanization techniques, and polypropylene sample vial. Also, we attempted to tackle signal stability issue by varying modifiers in dissolution solvent. Our results showed that sample containers made of different materials can significantly influence the MS signal stability of oligonucleotide at low concentration. Triethylamine (TEA) evidently improved both the signal stability and intensity of oligonucleotide.
