The theory for the use of quenching as an aid in the ratio deconvolution of multicomponent fluorescence data is discussed. The advantage of quenching is that apparent changes in the relative fluorescence intensity of the components can be accomplished without extensive sample preparation. The disadvantage is that most quenchers exhibit significant absorption in the range of excitation wavelengths used for studying many fluorescent analytes. This absorption produces an attenuation of the excitation beam through an “inner-filter” mechanism. The problems associated with inner-filter effects are discussed.

Abstract An analytical procedure for determination of thiabendazole (TBZ) residues in pears is described. The method involves extracting the chemical from the chopped fruit with buffer solution (acetic acid–acetate, pH 4.6), use of Sephadex G-15 dextrantype gel as a solid support, and determination of TBZ by solid-phase spectrof luorimetry (SPF). The relative fluorescence intensity of the Sephadex G- 15 gel–TBZ system, packed in a 1 mm-thickness silica cell, was measured directly at λex = 303 nm and λem = 350 nm with a solid-phase attachment. The applicable concentration range was 5.0–20.0 ppb with a detection limit of 0.5 ppb. Recoveries were from 98.7 to 102.0% when 15.0 ppb of TBZ was added to the fruit.

Pitangueira (E. uniflora) is considered a diploid species with n = 11 and 2n = 22 chromosomes, in genotypes with the presence of seeds in the fruits. With the pitangueira production of apyrenic fruits existence, such behavior may be related to the ploidy level. The objective of this study was to determine the ploidy level of the pitangueira accessions producing fruit with and without seed, as well as to observe the meiotic behavior and possible chromosomal abnormalities. To check the ploidy level of the pitangueira, freshly expanded mature leaves were collected from the pyrenic pitangueira and from two pyrenic accessions, with suspensions of intact nuclei being prepared. Samples were analyzed in a flow cytometer equipped with multiple parameters data acquisition and UV laser. All analyses were performed using peak-height detection (>6000 fluorescent events, for example, nuclei, were analyzed per sample) and logarithmic amplification. The data were presented as histograms of the number of nuclei along the y-axis and the relative fluorescence intensity on the x-axis. The pyrenean pitangueira and other two pyrenic accessions were characterized as diploid.

Flow cytometry is a useful technology in the sexed sperm, which measures and analyzes simultaneously, multiple physical characteristics of the cell, as they flow in a stream flow, through a light beam. The measured properties are the size of a particle, relative internal granularity, relative complexity and relative fluorescence intensity. Currently, hundreds of calves have been gestated through artificial insemination with sexed sperm in animal production. Since 1992, flow cytometry has been used, a technique that allows spermatozoa X and Y differentiation by DNA content. There is no other practical technique for sperm sexing to keep sperm functionality. The objectives of this review are to explain: (1) why the sperm containing the X or Y chromosome are phenotypically similar, but differ among themselves, (2) the principles and procedures used for sexing sperm by flow cytometry and sorting ( 3) accuracy, speed and efficiency of current procedure sperm sexing, (4) sperm damage occurred during sperm sexing and consequently the effects on fertility.
