Free-flow electrophoresis is a fast and promising method for gamete separation. Pretreated seminal plasma-free human spermatozoa were injected continuously as a fine stream into the buffer medium of the separation chamber flowing perpendicular to the forces of an electrical field, which separated the spermatozoa according to their differences in electrophoretic mobility. For characterization of the two classes of spermatozoa before and after separation, quinacrine mustard staining was used to identify the Y-chromosome-bearing spermatozoa carrying the fluorescent body (F-body). Human spermatozoa moved toward the anode and were separated into two main peaks. The faster moving fraction contained nearly 80% Y-bearing spermatozoa and the slower peak consisted mainly of pure Xbearing spermatozoa. Whereas sperm viability as determined by eosin staining was nearly unchanged, sperm motility was reduced after free-flow electrophoresis.
Einkristalluntersuchungen an Rb[AuF4], hellgelb, bestätigen die tetragonale Elementarzelle (K[BrF4]‐Typ) mit a = 618,2(1) und c = 1191(1) pm, Z = 4, Raumgruppe I 4/mcm‐D 4h18 (Nr. 140).
Ebenfalls hellgelbes Li[AuF4] hingegen kristallisiert monoklin (eigener Typ) in der Raumgruppe P 2/c‐C 2h4 (Nr. 13) mit a = 485,32(7), b = 634,29(8), c = 1004,43(13) pm, β = 92,759(12), Z = 4 und ist mit der Rb[AuF4]‐Struktur verwandt.
Neu dargestellt wurden Fluoride M2F[AuF4]5 mit M = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, alle gelb. Nach Einkristalluntersuchungen kristallisieren diese tetragonal in der R.G.P41212‐D 44 (Nr.92) mit z = 4.

Neu dargestellt wurden gelbe Tetrafluoroaurate(III) der Lanthaniden MF[AuF4]2 mit M = Tm, Yb, Lu. Nach Einkristalluntersuchungen kristallisieren diese orthorhombisch in der Raumgruppe Pbcn‐D 2h14 (Nr. 60) mit Z = 12. Im Einzelnen wurden folgende Werte gefunden: Für M = Tm: a = 1 102,92(8) pm, b = 904,38(8) pm, c = 2 164,46(23) pm; M = Yb: a = 1 100,98(12) pm, b = 902,23(8) pm, c = 2 157,36(23) pm; M = Lu: a = 1 099,28(18) pm, b = 900,70(15) pm, c = 2 151,50(46) pm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
