A new spectrophotometer instrument can analyze over 500 biological cells per second by measuring their spectrophotometric properties like nucleic acid content. In initial tests, human cells from different body sites were analyzed at specific wavelengths, producing consistent display patterns that could distinguish between certain cell populations.

1. Louis A. Kamentsky, 2. Myron R. Melamed and 3. Herbert Derman 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.
