Abstract
The present invention relates to a set of two or more mass labels. Each mass label comprises: X-L-M-Re; X is a reporter moiety having exact mass; L is a bond cleavable by collision in a mass spectrometer; M is a mass modifier; Re is a) a reactive functionality for attaching the mass label to an analyte or b) the analyte. Each mass label in the set has the same integer mass; wherein the set comprises two or more subsets of mass labels, each subset comprising one or more mass labels; wherein, when the subset comprises two or more mass labels, the exact mass of the reporter moiety X of each mass label in the subset is different from the exact mass of the reporter moiety X of the mass labels in the same subset and in all other subsets; each mass label is distinguishable by mass spectrometry.
