Mechanical/Physical Methods of Cell Distribution and Tissue Homogenization

This chapter covers the various methods of Mechanical Cell Disruption and Tissue Homogenization that are currently commercially available for processing minute samples (<1 mL) to larger production quantities. These mechanical methods of lysing do not introduce chemicals or enzymes to the system. However, the energies needed when using these “harsh” methods can be high and destroy the very proteins being sought.
