We developed and validated a reliable, robust, and easy-to-implement quantitative method for multielemental analysis of low-volume samples. Our ICP-MS-based method comprises the analysis of 20 elements (Mg, P, S, K, Ca, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Br, Rb, Sr, Mo, I, Cs, and Ba) in 10 µL of serum and 12 elements (Mg, S, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn Se, Br, Rb, Mo, and Cs) in less than 250â¯000 cells. As a proof-of-concept, we analyzed the elemental profiles of serum and sorted immune T cells derived from naiÌve and tumor-bearing mice. The results indicate a tumor systemic effect on the elemental profiles of both serum and T cells. Our approach highlights promising applications of multielemental analysis in precious samples such as rare cell populations or limited volumes of biofluids that could provide a deeper understanding of the essential role of elements as cofactors in biological and pathological processes.
