Abstract:
The inventors have improved mass cytometer to facilitate its use for the analysis of particles.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for performing mass cytometry comprising:\n (i) detecting a quantity of a detectable atom using a mass cytometer comprising a sampler, ion source, and mass spectrometer, the mass spectrometer comprising a detector and an analog-digital converter, and recording the digital signal from the analog-digital converter in the mass spectrometer as a first digital output; (ii) detecting the same quantity of the same detectable atom, and recording the digital signal from the analog-digital converter in the mass spectrometer as a second digital output; (iii) comparing the first digital output to the second digital output; (iv) modulating the voltage on the detector of the mass spectrometer based on the difference between the first digital output and the second digital output, so that the analog signal produced by the detector following conversion by the analog-digital converter would result in the same digital signal as the first digital output; and (v) analysing a sample in the mass cytometer.
