- Abstract
With the expansion of ICP-MS application into the field of bioanalysis, there is an urgent need for novel element tags today. Here, we report the design of a dual-element Ir-Eu tag, opening the door to simultaneous fluorescent imaging and ICP-MS quantification. The ratio of
153 Eu/193 Ir may serve as a precision control of the labeling process, allowing internal validation of the quantitative results obtained. As for SIRPα and its host cell analysis exemplified here, the Ir-Eu tag demonstrated superior figures of ICP-MS quantification with the LOD (3σ) down to 0.5 (153 Eu) and 1.1 (193 Ir) pM SIRPα and 220 (153 Eu) and 830 (193 Ir) RAW264.7 cells more than 130 times more sensitive compared with the LOD (3σ) of 65.2 pM SIRPα at 612 nm using fluorometry. Not limited to these demonstrations, we believe that the design ideas of the dual Ir-Eu tags should be applicable to various cases of bioanalysis when dual optical profiling and ICP-MS quantification are indispensable., (© 2023.
