A CELL LYSIS AND/OR MIXING DEVICE

摘要

The present invention is related to a cell lysis and/or mixing device, comprising a chamber (11) having a volume, wherein said chamber is filled with microparticles (12), and said chamber is adapted to accommodate cells. The device further comprises means (15) to put said chamber under vibrations. Furthermore, it is provided that the microparticles within the chamber assume between 20 and 75 % of the chamber's volume (Fig. 4). The present invention further provides a process for lysing and/or mixing cells, wherein cells are put in a chamber which is filled with microparticles, the chamber is set under vibrations, wherein further the microparticles assume between 20 and 75 % of the chamber's volume.
