Proper cell sample preparation is a critical step for any cell-based assay. Accurate cell count and viability results are required to prepare cells for downstream assays, and for analysis of intracellular analytes such as DNA/RNA, intracellular proteins, and small molecules, an appropriate cell lysis procedure is needed. Traditional cellular lysis methods can be time-consuming and heavily reliant on reagents such as enzymes or detergents.
