Abstract
An automated method for the determination of DNA content in fractions from the alkaline filter elution assay of DNA damage has been developed. DNA-containing fractions are mixed with a fluorochrome (Hoechst 33258) and the DNA concentration is measured fluorometrically in a continuous-flow system. The lower limit of detection is 0.05 micrograms DNA/ml, and the linearity range under the conditions used is 0-8 micrograms DNA/ml. The standard deviation (n = 10) was found to be +/- 0.83%. The results are compared with the manual method.Mesh:
