Mass Cytometry: Polychromatic bio-assays by 100 shades of metallic grey
Dr. Scott Tanner (DVS Sciences)

Dr. Tanner received his PhD in physical chemistry from York University in Toronto, where he studied the chemistry and kinetics of ion-molecule reactions as they relate to the formation of soot in flames. He joined Sciex, then a small innovative private mass spectrometry company, in 1980 and stayed for 25 years, eventually becoming Principal Scientist. By the early 1990's he had gained an international reputation for his understanding of the fundamentals of Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry, including both plasma processes and ion optics. With the commercial success of the ICP-MS products that he helped to develop and bring to the market through the PerkinElmer-Sciex Joint Venture, Scott had the great fortune to meet and entice Vladimir Baranov and Dmitry Bandura to join his elemental mass spectrometry research group. The team went on to develop and promote the Dynamic Reaction Cell® which remains, more than a decade later, at the pinnacle of quadrupole ICP-MS technology.
