Single-particle inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (SP-ICP-MS) is used for elemental analysis of single particles and biological cells. Time-of-flight (TOF) mass analyzers are widely used for multiple element analysis of individual particles. Owing to the sequential nature of the mass analyzer, quadrupole-based ICP-MS generally gives poor analytical performance when more than one element are being monitored. In this study, we present the first accurate and precise dual-mass measurement of individual particles using quadrupole-based ICP-MS, with the assistance of oxygen collision gas. Simultaneous measurement of the intensity of Ag-107 and Ag-109 of Ag nanoparticles (AgNP) showed particle recovery of 100% and Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.97, indicating proper sampling of all particles in the ICP. This technique gives good measurement precision (RSD
