Dissolves Cells is a term used to describe the process of lysis, which is the breaking down of cells by disrupting their membranes. Lysis is a common technique used in biochemistry and molecular biology to study the structure and function of macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. It can also be used to separate cellular components for further analysis. Lysis is often used to prepare samples for downstream applications such as western blotting, PCR, and sequencing.
