Abstract

Recent advances in analytical techniques using an ICP-MS enable us to detect a trace or ultratrace amount of element in a single cell at a level of femtogram or attogram. In this study, we measured elemental contents in a single cell such as red blood cell, yeast, green algae, and human leukemia cell (K562) by a single cell-ICP-MS. The measured elemental contents of Mg, Zn, P, S, and Fe showed good agreements with the values obtained from conventional solution based ICP-MS analysis after acid digestion of the cells. This analytical technique can be useful strategy for evaluating the metabolism of both endogenous and exogenous elements in a single cell.
