"Cell lysis" refers to the process in which a cell's outer membrane is broken open or disrupted, resulting in the release of its contents. Full definition
Reactions were terminated with 1 ml of ice - cold PBS, and cells were centrifuged and resuspended in 50 μl of cell lysis buffer containing 1 % NP - 40 and protease inhibitors. (immunohorizons.org)
Disposable microfluidic cartridges coencapsulate single cells and barcodes into subnanoliter droplets, where cell lysis and barcoding occur. (sciencemag.org)
Cell pellets were resuspended in 1 ml cell lysis buffer [5 mM Pipes pH 8.0, 85 mM KCl, 0.5 % NP - 40] containing protease inhibitors and incubated for 10 min on ice. (journals.plos.org)
