    This study enhances human semen analysis by combining flow fluorometry and Coulter sizing. These methods improve sperm counting and differentiate mature sperm from immature germ cells, aiding fertility and pathology assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive biology
    • Andrology
    • Biotechnology

    Background:

    • Human semen analysis is crucial for fertility assessment and diagnosis of male reproductive disorders.
    • Current methods like light microscopy have limitations in providing detailed cellular information.
    • Flow fluorometry and Coulter sizing offer advanced analytical capabilities for sperm evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To improve human semen analysis by evaluating flow fluorometry and Coulter sizing.
    • To establish optimal sample preparation protocols for fluorometric sperm analysis.
    • To explore the preconditions for simultaneous two-parameter analysis of DNA content and cellular size distributions.

    Main Methods:

    • Evaluation of different sample preparation methods for sperm analysis.

  • Development of a prestaining pepsin treatment protocol for fluorometric analysis.

    • Main Results:

    • Coulter counting automates sperm counting.
    • Fluorometry provides detailed information on normozoospermia and oligozoospermia by assessing mature spermatozoa and immature germ cells.
    • Prestaining pepsin treatment is proposed as an effective protocol for fluorometric analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • Combining flow fluorometry and Coulter sizing, along with light microscopy, enhances human semen analysis.
    • These methods provide complementary information for assessing sperm quality, fertility, and pathology.
    • The study lays the groundwork for simultaneous two-parameter analysis of DNA content and cellular size.
