Event Overview:

The field of nanotechnology is rapidly advancing, but heavily debated when it comes to potential health and environmental risks. Single particle inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (spICP‑MS) has been one of the key measurement technologies for assessing chemical purity, consumer safety, and the potential environmental risk of substances containing nanoparticles. Recent advances in sample introduction systems, detection speed, and data treatment strategies have led 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 webinar 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 will be highlighted. As for single cell analysis, we will 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.

Join this webinar to get to know the analytical principles of fast time resolved spICP-MS. Learn about the latest trends and applications of the field, and the use of this technology in single nanoparticle detection and cell analysis.
