Abstract: Described herein are nanoparticles comprising NaLnF4, wherein Ln includes all non-radioactive lanthanide elements, or NaYF4, and methods of making and using the same. The nanoparticles may optionally be modified with PEG or zwitterionic polymers containing a bisphosphonate end group, wherein the bisphosphonate end group optionally comprises an aminohexyl group. As described herein. NaLnF4 or NaYF4 nanoparticles may be used as high-sensitivity reagents for mass cytometry.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to metal labelled polymer microbeads and in particular to lanthanide labelled polymer microbeads for mass cytometry bead based assays and multiplexing applications. The polymer microbead comprises a copolymer comprising a structural monomer and a metal-chelating monomer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compounds of Formula I, element tags comprising soft metals, and methods and kits therefore for performing mass cytometry.

Abstract: Element tags based on novel metal-polymer conjugates are provided for elemental analysis of analytes, including ICP-MS. A polymer backbone is functionalized to irreversibly bind metals that are selected prior to use by the user. The polymer is further functionalized to attach a linker which allows for attachment to antibodies or other affinity reagents. The polymer format allows attachment of many copies of a given isotope, which linearly improves sensitivity. The metal-polymer conjugate tags enable multiplexed assay in two formats: bulk assay, where the average biomarker distribution in the sample is diagnostic, and single cell format to distinguish a rare (for example a diseased) cell in a complex sample (for example, blood).

Abstract: This disclosure relates to reagents and their use for elemental imaging mass spectrometry of biological samples.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new type of element encoded particles suitable for the attachment of bio molecules to enable massively multiplex bio-analytical methods, and to calibrate and tune the elemental flow cytometer mass spectrometer (FC-MS).
