Elemental mass tags are typically classified as protein-detection mass tags or cell-identification mass tags according to their utilities in CyTOF analysis. To date, 56 stable heavy isotopes have been used in single-cell assays, coming from 15 rare-earth elements (Y, and from La to Lu, except Pm), four noble metals (Rh, Pd, Ir, and Pt), two post-transition metals (In and Bi), and one halogen (I).
