1. Cell disruption methods

Cell disruption is the process of breaking open cells to release their contents, like proteins and DNA. This is a crucial step in many lab procedures. Methods can be mechanical, such as bead beating and homogenization; physical, like sonication and freeze-thaw; or chemical, using detergents and enzymes.
