Concept information
Preferred term
flow cytometry
Note
- Mammalian sperm are inherently different in that the X sperm carries from 2.8 to 4.2% more DNA than the Y sperm. Individual sperm DNA can be determined and used as the differentiating characteristic with flow cytometry and cell sorting instrumentation especially modified to measure small amounts of DNA in sperm. The process utilizes a fluorochrome to bind to the DNA. The relative DNA is measured by passing the living sperm through a laser beam and collecting the light energy from the individual sperm.
