Imaging of biological samples by LA-ICP-MS
- In recent years, elemental imaging of biological samples like tissue thin sections using laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is gaining more and more importance. Improvements concerning spatial resolution as well as signal-to-background ratio due to low-dispersion sample chambers make LA-ICP-MS also interesting for single cell analysis. To evaluate the interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with cells LA-ICP-MS was applied for the imaging of individual cells. Our findings show, that NP aggregates can be localized within cellular compartments. The uptake efficiency depends strongly on the physico-chemical properties of the nanostructures (size, chemical composition, surface modification), as well as on the incubation conditions (concentration, time). Moreover, LA-ICP-MS is increasingly becoming an important complementary technique in bioanalysis by using element-tagging strategies to determine biomolecules indirectly.

Moreover, LA-ICP-MS is increasingly becoming an important complementary technique in bioanalysis by using element-tagging strategies to determine biomolecules indirectly. Based on the specific binding between antibodies and their corresponding antigens, proteins and peptides can be detected in tissue or cells using tagged antibodies. As artificial tags metal chelates loaded with lanthanides, polymer-based elemental tags or metal-containing nanoparticles can be used. Thereby LA-ICP-MS is a sensitive detection tool for multiplexed immuno-histochemistry of tissue and cell samples. Our results demonstrate the potential of LA-ICP-MS to investigate the distribution of naturally occurring elements, administered agents as well as biomolecules by using metal-tagged antibodies.…
