Abstract
Laser capture microdissection is a valuable technique in individually isolating single cells whether in tissue networks or deposited from a cell suspension. New developments have enabled coupling of laser capture microdissection with mass spectrometry via liquid vortex capture sampling probe. This enables online metabolic profiling of sectioned cells. Here, we describe the protocol used to deposit, isolate, and individually chemically characterize single Allium cepa and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells by laser capture microdissection–liquid vortex capture mass spectrometry.
