Abstract Per-(15)N-labeled microcystins were prepared for use as surrogates for accurate liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Two strains of Microcystis aeruginosa were cultured in (15)NO(3)-containing TS-15 medium. To change from the incorporation of (14)N to (15)N into all cell components, cells of Microcystis aeruginosa were precultured in Na(15)NO(3)-containing medium for more than 6 months. After mass cultivation of the strains, cells of each strain were harvested and lyophilized. Microcystin variants were extracted from the lyophilized cells and per-(15)N-labeled microcystin variants were purified using high-performance liquid chromatography and high-performance thin-layer chromatography. The structures of per-(15)N-labeled microcystin variants were confirmed by their mass spectrometry spectra and NMR spectra. When per-(15)N-labeled microcystins were used as surrogates for quantitative analysis of these toxins in cyanobacterial cells, excellent accuracy (98-106%) was obtained, with the m/z of M(+), [M+1](+), and [M+2](+) of both microcystins and the per-(15)N-labeled microcystins as surrogates being completely separated. In conclusion, per-(15)N-labeled microcystins are excellent surrogates for microcystin analysis using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
