Flow fluorometry and Coulter type sizing analysis of sperm have been applied separately in order to improve human semen analysis. Different methods of sample preparation were evaluated and a protocol involving prestaining pepsin treatment of sperm samples is proposed for fluorometric analysis. The data obtained with fluorometry and sizing analysis result in different kinds of information: Coulter counting allows to automate sperm counting and fluorometry yields more detailed information about normozoospermia and oligozoospermia by determining the proportion of mature spermatozoa and immature germ-cells. These two methods, together with light microscopy, may help to explore the correlation of fertility and pathology of spermatozoa. The aim of these investigations is to yield the preconditions for simultaneous two-parameter analysis of DNA content and cellular size distributions.
