Cell disruption

Cell disruption is a way of breaking open cells, like the cells in eggs. To do this, people often use powerful machines that shake the cells until they burst open. This makes it easier to extract proteins, enzymes, and other materials from inside the cells. Think of it like a blender: it uses fast-moving blades to break something up into lots of small pieces. In this way, cell disruption is like smashing something with a hammer.
