Single particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (spICP‑MS) has been one of the key measurement technologies for assessing chemical purity, consumer safety and environmental innocuousness of substances containing nanoparticles. Recent advances in sample introduction systems, detection speed and data treatment strategies gave way to numerous new applications in this field. Beyond the characterization of nanoparticles, researchers quickly realized the potential to study the elemental composition of single cells using the same approach with biological cells.

The web seminar will cover spICP-MS and its application in nanotechnology as well as in single cell analysis. It will provide a comprehensive introduction to the analytical principles of spICP-MS and considerations for data evaluation. Based on examples of engineered nanoparticles, the benefits of fast time-resolved ICP‑MS are highlighted, including an application scenario using laser-ablation for the sample introduction of nanoparticles. As for single cell analysis, our experts discuss how ICP-MS instruments equipped with a low-flow nebulizer and an on-axis total-consumption spray chamber were used to study the elemental composition of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii green algae cells.
