Comparison of Cell Lysis Methods

[tonyz06]

Hiya dudes has any1 compared the different cell lysis methods?

what should you use when?

for example is homogenization a tissue specific method, or can you use it for cells too???

Also freeze thawing? when do you use it??


Cell Lysis Methods I found:

• Sonication method
• French press method
• Freeze Thaw method
• Passive lysis method
• Homogenization

Is there a convention when to use these?

You can homogenize tissue and cells and bone, etc

I've used freeze thawing for lysis of gram-positive bacteria for DNA extraction.
