A method for determination of DNA contents in individual human chromosomes has been elaborated based of the two step analysis: 1) identification of chromosomes by Q-banding; 2) photographic microfluorimetry of chromosomes after the Feulgen staining (a fluorescent variant using a Schiff-type reagent of Auramine-SO2). The DNA content in 24 human chromosomes was calculated in absolute values (fg). The data obtained are compared with the evidence published elsewhere and provided by different cytophotometric methods.
