Efficient Cell Disruption Using High-Pressure Homogenizers
Efficient Cell Disruption Using High-Pressure Homogenizers Introduction Cell disruption is a fundamental process in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and life sciences. Breaking open cells allows researchers to access valuable intracellular components, including proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids. For reliable, scalable, and reproducible results, high-pressure homogenizers are widely used in laboratories and production facilities. What is Cell Disruption? Cell disruption refers to the process of breaking open the cell membrane or wall to release intracellular contents. This step is essential for applications such as protein extraction, enzyme production, and vaccine development. Efficient cell disruption ensures maximum yield while maintaining the quality and activity of sensitive biomolecules. Why Use High-Pressure Homogenizers for Cell Disruption? High-pressure homogenizers are mechanical devices that force a cell suspension through a narrow interaction chamber...
