Determination of the uptake of lanthanide doped-carbon dots by human cells using single cell ICP-ToF-MS† As the application of engineered nanoparticles in medical fields grows, there is a rising demand for techniques capable of determining how they interact with biological entities, including cells. Single Cell Inductively Coupled Plasma Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (sc-ICP-ToF-MS) has been shown potential to assess the mass of nanoparticle tags uptaken by individual cells.

Performance of single-cell ICP-MS for quantitative biodistribution studies of silver interactions with bacteria† Single-cell analysis using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SC-ICP-MS) is an analytical methodology that allows to obtain qualitative and quantitative information of the element content of bioparticles (cells, bacteria, unicellular algae, yeasts…) on a cell-by-cell basis.
