A French press is commonly used to break the resilient plasma membrane and cell walls of bacteria and other microorganisms for isolation of proteins and other cellular components. [3] The disruption of cells in a French press generates 'inside-out' membrane vesicles which are required for many in vitro biochemical assays. The cell is typically ...
Since the 1940s high pressure has been used as a method of cell disruption, most notably by the French Pressure Cell Press, or French Press for short. This method was developed by Charles Stacy French and utilises high pressure to force cells through a narrow orifice, causing the cells to lyse due to the shear forces experienced across the ...
Cell fractionation is done by homogenizer to release the organelles from cell. Whereas older technologies just focused on the disruption of the material, newer technologies also address quality or environmental aspects, such as cross-contamination, aerosols, risk of infection, or noise.
Milk homogenization is accomplished by mixing large amounts of harvested milk, then forcing the milk at high pressure through small holes. [7] Milk homogenization is an essential tool of the milk food industry to produce consistent levels of flavor and fat concentration. Another application of homogenization is in soft drinks like cola products.

Micrographs of osmotic pressure on red blood cells A human white blood cell (upper right) in water swells until it bursts (at ~14 seconds) Cytolysis , or osmotic lysis , occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to diffuse into the cell.
The pressure cell is connected to a source of compressed gas (such as Argon, Helium or Nitrogen). A capillary is placed through a ferrule in the cap so that one end is in contact with the liquid in the tube or vial. The distal end of the capillary is fritted to retain the particles while packing. Pressure from the compressed gas can be ...
The classical explanation of HPV involves inhibition of hypoxia-sensitive voltage-gated potassium channels in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells leading to depolarization. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] This depolarization activates voltage-dependent calcium channels , which increases intracellular calcium and activates smooth muscle contractile machinery which ...
