A mixture of all of the isotopically labeled disaccharides, each in a fixed amount (15 ng), was analyzed by LC–MS five times in the presence of a mixture of the eight unlabeled disaccharides in five different amounts (2, 5,10, 20, and 50 ng). The ratio of the intensity of the ion corresponding to each unlabeled disaccharide to the ion corresponding to the identical isotopically labeled disaccharide (Y) was plotted as a function of the amount of unlabeled disaccharide (X).
