Abstract
A combination of mutually exclusive cell-based analytical techniques can be applied to the same group of cells for analysis. The same group of cells can be prepared for analysis by each technique resulting with candidate cells targeted for mass cytometry analysis. This configuration allows for the correlation of the information between each technique to produce a matrix of multi dimension of cellular information with the same group of cells.

A sample for analysis by LA-ICP-MS, the sample comprising:
- A group of cells mounted on a base;

- wherein each type of antibody is tagged with a distinct elemental tag (Tn);
- wherein each type of elemental conjugated antibody is uniquely distinguishable by its distinct elemental tag (Tn);
- and
- wherein the group of cells is labeled with a fluorophore.
