CELL DISRUPTION

PHYSICO-MECHANICAL METHODS

LIQUID SHEAR

SLURRY PASSES THROUGH NO RETURN VALVES

LARGE SCALE ENZYME PURIFICATIOM

HIGH PRESSURE HOMOGENIZERS EFFECTIVE FOR MICROBIAL DISRUPTION

IMPINGES AGAINST OPERATIVE PRESSURE

WORKS ON PRINCIPLE OF PRESSURE DROP ACROSS VALVES

SOLID SHEAR

PRESSURE EXTRUSION THROUGH ORIFICE AT -25 C

IDEAL FOR TEMPRATURE LABILE

DISRUPTION DUE TO ICE CRYSTALS

AGITATION WITH ABRASIVES

ROTATING DISCS AND SMALL BEADS IN A DISINTEGRATOR

BEADS- GLASS, ALUMINA CERAMICS AND TITANIUM

DISSIPATION OVERCOME BY COOLING JACKET

FREEZE THAWING

OF MICROBIAL CELL PASTE- ICE CRYSTAL FORMATION

THAWING CAUSES DISRUPTION

SLOW , LIMITED RELEASE OF CELLULAR MATERIALS

ULTRASONICATION

20 kHz VIBRATION LEADING TO CAVITATION AND SHOCK WAVES

PROBES

SHORT WORK LIFE

SHORT RANGE

VOLUMES UPTO 10 CM3 ARE EFFECTIVE
