Abstract: Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) analyzers use an ICP torch to generate a plasma in which a sample is atomized an ionized. Analysis of the atomic ions can be performed by atomic analysis, such as mass spectrometry (MS) or atomic emission spectrometry (AES). Particle based ICP analysis includes analysis of particles such as cells, beads, or laser ablation plumes, by atomizing and ionizing particles in an ICP torch followed by atomic analysis. In mass cytometry, mass tags of particles are analyzed by mass spectrometry, such as by ICP-MS. Systems and methods of the subject application include one or more of: a demountable ICP torch holder assembly, an external ignition device; an ICP load coil comprising an annular fin, particle suspension sample introduction fluidics, and ICP analyzers thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and devices for molecular cytometry. The molecular cytometer is for use in the analysis of molecular tag labeled particles. In the molecular cytometer, volatile molecular tags attached to the particles, such as cells, are released as groups of molecular tags and ionized by the method of soft ionization to produce corresponding groups of molecular ions. The molecular cytometer has two detectors, one to detect the presence of the groups of molecular ions and the other to detect mobility separated molecular ions. The mobility separated molecular ions are synchronized to correspond with the groups of molecular ions.

Abstract: A lyophilized antibody panel is disclosed for interrogation using elemental analysis. The antibody panel includes multiple antibodies each element-tagged or element-labelled with one or more isotopes such that each different antibody is isotopically distinguishable from the other antibodies. Each element tag can include one or more unique isotopes or unique combinations of isotopes. The set of element-tagged antibodies can be lyophilized in admixture. Thus, the lyophilized element-tagged antibody panel can be easily and efficiently resuspended and mixed with a sample prior to interrogation with an elemental analyzer, such as a mass spectrometer. This lyophilized element-tagged antibody panel can provide the benefits of an element-tagged assay while also being easy to use and remaining stable for long durations.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to replacement of the previous ICP-based ionisation system with a new laser ionisation system, providing improved mass spectrometer-based apparatus and methods for using them to analyse samples, in particular the use of mass spectrometry mass cytometry, imaging mass spectrometry and imaging mass cytometry, for the analysis of biological samples. Accordingly, embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus, for example a mass cytometer, comprising: 1 ) a sampler; 2) a laser ionisation system to receive material removed from the sample by the sampler, wherein the laser ionisation system comprises an ionisation system conduit and a pulsed laser adapted to ionise sample material passing through or exiting the ionisation system conduit; and 3) a mass spectrometer to receive elemental ions from said ionisation system and to analyse said elemental ions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the high resolution imaging of samples using imaging mass spectrometry (IMS) and to the imaging of biological samples by imaging mass cytometry (IMCTM) in which labelling atoms are detected by IMS. LA-ICP-MS (a form of IMS in which the sample is ablated by a laser, the ablated material is then ionised in an inductively coupled plasma before the ions are detected by mass spectrometry) has been used for analysis of various substances, such as mineral analysis of geological samples, analysis of archaeological samples, and imaging of biological substances. However, traditional LA-ICP-MS systems and methods may not provide high resolution. Described herein are methods and systems for high resolution IMS and IMC.

Abstract: As described herein, one or more parameters of a direct ionization imaging mass spectrometer (IMS) may be set to obtain a desired plasma and deliver it to a mass detector. Depending on the application, certain parameters may be predetermined (e.g., a spot size given a desired resolution) and, as described herein, other parameters can be adjusted to obtain the desired plasma properties. Also included is sample preparation suitable for direct ionization IMS and/or other imaging modalities.
