A Review on Macroscale and Microscale Cell Lysis Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 different microfluidic devices used are detailed with their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, a comparison of different techniques used in microfluidics platform has been presented which will be helpful to select method for a particular application.

On the definition and derivatives of macroscale energy for the description of multiphase systems
Modeling of flow and transport in environmental systems often involves formulation of conservation equations at spatial scales involving tens to hundreds of pore diameters in porous media or the depth of flow in a channel. Quantities such as density, temperature, internal energy, and velocity may not be uniform over these macroscopic length scales. The external gravitational potential causes gr...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Multiscale Methods for Interface Tracking of Combustion Fronts
Abstract. In this paper we investigate the heterogeneous multiscale methods (HMM) for interface tracking and apply the technique to the simulation of combustion fronts. Our goal is to overcome the numerical difficulties, which are caused by different time scales between the transport part and the reactive part in the model equations of some interface tracking problems, such as combustion proces...
متن کاملThe local microscale problem in the multiscale modeling of strongly heterogeneous media: Effects of boundary conditions and cell size
Many multiscale methods are based on the idea of extracting macroscopic behavior of solutions by solving an array of microscale models over small domains. A key ingredient in such multiscale methods is the boundary condition and the size of the computational domain over which the microscale problems are solved. This problem is systematically investigated in the present paper in the context of m...
متن کاملMicrofluidics meet cell biology: bridging the gap by validation and application of microscale techniques for cell biological assays.
Microscale techniques have been applied to biological assays for nearly two decades, but haven't been widely integrated as common tools in biological laboratories. The significant differences between several physical phenomena at the microscale versus the macroscale have been exploited to provide a variety of new types of assays (such as gradient production or spatial cell patterning). However,...
متن کاملLinking macroscale graph analytical organization to microscale neuroarchitectonics in the macaque connectome.
Macroscale connectivity of the mammalian brain has been shown to display several characteristics of an efficient communication network architecture. In parallel, at the microscopic scale, histological studies have extensively revealed large interregional variation in cortical neural architectonics. However, how these two "scales" of cerebrum organization are linked remains an open question. Col...
