There are more than 150 types of naturally occurring modified nucleosides, which are believed to be involved in various biological processes. Recently, an ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) technique has been developed to measure low levels of modified nucleosides. A comprehensive analysis of modified nucleosides will lead to a better understanding of intracellular ribonucleic acid modification, but this analysis requires high-sensitivity measurements. In this perspective, we established a highly sensitive and quantitative method using the newly developed ion source, UniSpray. A mass spectrometer was used with a UniSpray source in positive ion mode. Our UHPLC-UniSpray-MS/MS methodology separated and detected the four major nucleosides, 42 modified nucleosides, and dG15N5 (internal standard) in 15 min. The UniSpray method provided good correlation coefficients (>0.99) for all analyzed nucleosides, and a wide range of linearity for 35 of the 46 nucleosides. Additionally, the accuracy and precision values satisfied the criteria of
