A Review on Macroscale and Microscale Cell Lysis Methods

Abstract: The lysis of cells in order to extract the nucleic acids or proteins inside it is a crucial unit operation in biomolecular analysis. This paper presents a critical evaluation of the various methods that are available both in the macro and micro scale for cell lysis. Various types of cells, the structure of their membranes are discussed initially. Then, various methods that are currently used to lyse cells in the macroscale are discussed and compared. Subsequently, popular methods for micro scale cell lysis and… Show more

“…Mechanical lysis of bacteria was selected as the method to lyse the cells, because it has the advantage to preserving the antigenic structure, as opposed to chemical methods like alkaline lysis which produce changes in protein structure [29]. All the lysates (individual or polyvalent) antigenic patterns were analyzed by SDS gel electrophoresis, protein and carbohydrate content and by a mass spectrometry.…”

“…Cavitation's produce high energies around the cells leading to their breakdown and cell disruption. This leads to a high diffusion rates across the cell walls and better penetration [35].…”

“…Piercing the cell envelope would produce local cell damage and lysis of the bacterium. 26,30,31,60 The absence of the bacterial cell envelope in Figure 2B indicates that this damage was sufficient to stop the metabolic maintenance of the cell envelope or produce apoptosis. 60 In contrast to mathematical modeling in previous…”
