Abstract

Elements plays important role in healthy, became key pieces of information in medicine and life science. In this sense, this chapter reviews the most recent advances in inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and its hyphenation with some techniques focusing on a diversity of applications. Here, we are exploring the state-of-the-art regarding ICP-MS platforms from elemental imaging to chemical speciation analysis, putting in evidence some applications as laser ablation in the imaging mode, single particle, and chemical speciation in studies involving cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, biomarkers, among others. We also examine current trends in this field, focusing on the further development of ICP-MS-based approaches as well as analytical, biochemical, and medical aspects associated with the use of trace element analysis.
