Preface Mass cytometry is a state-of-the-art single-cell measurement technology with a multitude of applications. The use of heavy metal-conjugated antibodies allows for the detection of approximately 50 parameters per cell with minimal signal overlap. This has made mass cytometry the mostly highly multi-parametric method for the simultaneous measurement of protein at the single-cell level to date. The strength of this technology lies in its inherent flexibility, from the starting materials that can be examined to the types of markers that can be analyzed and metho
