PROCESS FOR DISINTEGRATING CELL DISPERSIONS OR SUSPENSIONS BY MEANS OF ULTRASONIC VIBRATIONS

摘要

Claimed is a method for the lysis of cell dispersions or cell suspensions by ultra sound treatment in an ultrasound flow through chamber using a synotrode which: (i) protrudes to 1/2 to 2/3 of its length into the cell, (ii) is at an angle of 80.5 to 88.5 deg.; (iii) has a ratio of length of immersion (in mm) to the sonication vol. (in ml) of 1:1.1-1:20 and (iv) a ratio of the length of immersion (in mm) to the solid material in soln. (mass percentage) of 1:0.002-1:2.2. Pref. an amplitude of 20-70 is used, the synotrode angle is 85.3 deg. and the concn. of solids is between 0.5 to 65 wt. per cent.
