Spectrophotometer: New Instrument for

Ultrarapid Cell Analysis


1. Louis A. Kamentsky,

A new device has been developed for measuring and displaying multiple
spectrophotometric properties of biological cells at rates exceeding 500 cells per
second. Preliminary observations of human cells from different sites in the body
were made at wavelengths of 2537 and 4100 angstroms to estimate cellular
nucleic acid per unit volume of individual cells of large populations of cells.
Display patterns were obtained which were consistent, and characteristically
different for certain of the cell populations studied.
