Ultrasonic cell grinder is a cell disruption equipment based on the principle of ultrasound, which can be used to destroy the cell wall and release the internal substances of the cell. This equipment is widely used in biomedical fields, including proteomics, genomics, drug screening, vaccine preparation, and other fields. This article will introduce the working principle, characteristics and applications of ultrasonic cell grinder.
1. The working principle of ultrasonic cell crusher.
Ultrasonic cell grinders use the vibrational energy of ultrasound waves to destroy the cell wall, thereby releasing the material inside the cell. Ultrasound is a mechanical wave that is characterized by high-frequency vibrations and is capable of propagating in solids and liquids. When ultrasound waves propagate through the liquid, areas of alternating high and low pressure are created, and this pressure change causes the cell wall to be periodically squeezed and stretched, eventually leading to the cell wall rupture.
Second, the characteristics of ultrasonic cell grinder.
1.High efficiency: The ultrasonic cell grinder can quickly disrupt a large number of cells and improve the efficiency of the experiment.
2.Wide applicability: It can be used to disrupt various types of cells, including animal cells, plant cells, bacteria and fungi, etc.
3.Non-destructive: No chemicals or physical impurities are introduced during the ultrasonic crushing process, so there is no effect on the substances inside the cells.
4.Repeatability: The ultrasonic crushing effect is stable and repeatable.
5.Environmental protection: The ultrasonic crushing process will not produce harmful substances and will not pollute the environment.
3. Application of ultrasonic cell grinder.
1.Proteomics research: Ultrasonic cell grinders can be used to disrupt cells and extract protein components for proteomics research.
2.Genomics research: Ultrasonic cell grinders can break up cell walls and extract genomic DNA and RNA for genomics research.
3.Drug screening: Ultrasonic cell grinders can be used to prepare drug screening samples to help researchers quickly screen out effective drugs.
4.Vaccine preparation: Ultrasonic cell grinder can be used to break up virus particles and prepare vaccines.
5.Biomaterial preparation: Ultrasonic cell grinder can be used to prepare biomaterials, such as nanofibers, nanoparticles, etc.
In short, ultrasonic cell pulverizer is an efficient, environmentally friendly and non-destructive cell disrupting equipment with a wide range of application prospects. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the continuous expansion of application fields, the technology and performance of ultrasonic cell pulverizer will continue to improve and improve.
