Cell Disruptors

A laboratory cell disruptor is a specialised instrument used to break open cells to release their internal contents. This process, known as cell lysis, is crucial in various biological and biochemical applications, such as protein extraction, DNA/RNA analysis, and metabolic studies. The cell disruptor uses mechanical, acoustic, or chemical methods to achieve cell disruption, depending on the sample type and the desired outcome. By breaking down cell walls, researchers can study intracellular components and understand cellular mechanisms better. This device is essential for labs focusing on molecular biology, biochemistry, and related fields, providing a reliable means to prepare samples for further analysis.
