title: Cell lysis methods for high-throughput screening or miniaturized assays.
abstract: The widely and routinely used cell lysis techniques are still being evolved to address the technical needs of micro-scale sample processing, for example in high-throughput screening or miniaturized assays. This review focuses on several recently emerged mechanical, physical and biological methods designed for lysing cells on small scales for screening or analysis.
