Abstract
A method of using a fluidics apparatus for lysing a cell. In the method, the cell is placed in a fluid sample contacting a substrate surface. The method further includes providing surface acoustic waves (SAWs) at the substrate surface, causing cell lyses.
Claims11
A method for lysing a cell, comprising:
- suspending the cell in a fluid sample, the fluid sample having a volume of equal to or less than 5 milliliter;
- contacting the fluid sample with a substrate surface;
- and
- providing a transducer arrangement, the transducer arrangement being operated to provide surface acoustic waves at the substrate surface at a frequency in the range of 10 kHz to 1 GHz for a time of at least 0.1 seconds, causing cell lyses.
