Abstract
	Current analytical methods to measure cellular trace elements or nanoparticles compositions provide information only about the average of the cell populations. An inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) gains popularity as a tool to evaluate elements and nanoparticles in single cells. The EU-funded NanoMuSiC project will develop highly sensitive analytical methods via coupling a microdroplet generator to ICP-MS for quantification and analysis of the uptake of elements and metal based nanoparticles in single cells. The developed methods will provide proof-of-concept in ecotoxicological applications with diatoms and environmentally relevant elements and nanoparticles, supporting the investigation of potential risks to the environment and human health.
