Analysis of Metal Content in Human Cells

Cellular metal elements, including iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium, etc., are critical for maintaining life activities and health. These elements play roles in many biochemical processes, including but not limited to the regulation of enzyme activity, signal transduction, regulation of gene expression, and as part of the cellular structure. Therefore, understanding the content and distribution of metals in cells is essential to reveal their roles in cellular physiological and pathological processes.

 

Biological Roles of Metal Elements

1. Iron

It is a component of many enzymes and is crucial for oxygen transport and DNA synthesis.

 

2. Zinc

It is critical for immune function, DNA synthesis, and cell division.

 

3. Copper

It plays a role in the absorption and transport of iron and as a cofactor of many enzymes.

 

4. Magnesium

It is vital for protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood pressure regulation, and blood sugar control.

 

5. Calcium

It is not only a major component of bones and teeth but also participates in blood clotting, muscle contraction, and nerve signal transmission.

 

MtoZ Biolabs Metal Element Analysis Technology Interpretation

MtoZ Biolabs uses technology to accurately analyze the metal content in human cells. ICP-MS determines the type and quantity of elements by creating plasma and measuring the mass-charge ratio of particles. It can not only analyze all metal elements in the periodic table of elements but can also simultaneously detect multiple elements, and it has a very low detection limit (below 1ppt). It is an essential tool for metal content analysis. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS)
