Abstract

See full text

The present invention comprises a method for measuring the transport of analytes through a cell. The method comprises the steps of providing one or more cells containing at least 10 picograms of an analyte within a volume defined by the area of an x-ray excitation beam and a depth of live times the 1/e attenuation, depth for at least one characteristic x-ray signal of the analyte as attenuated by water. The method further comprises the step of removing at least a of portion of the analyte from the cells. The method also comprises the steps of exciting at least a portion of the analyte that has been removed from the cells with an x-ray beam; and using an x-ray detector to measure x-ray fluorescence.
