We report an additive-free method to lyse bacteria and extract nucleic acids and protein using a traveling surface acoustic wave (TSAW) coupled to a microfluidic device. We characterize the effects of the TSAW on E. coli by measuring the viability of cells exposed to the sound waves and find that about 90% are dead. In addition, we measure the protein and nucleic acids released from the cells and show that we recover about 20% of the total material. The lysis method should work for all types of bacteria. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using TSAW to lyse bacteria in a manner that is independent of the type of bacteria.
我们报告了一种无添加剂的方法，使用 traveling surface acoustic wave（TSAW）与微流控装置相结合来裂解细菌并提取核酸和蛋白质。我们通过测量暴露于声波的细胞的存活率来表征 TSAW 对大肠杆菌的影响，发现约 90%的细胞死亡。此外，我们还测量了从细胞中释放出的蛋白质和核酸，并表明我们回收了约 20%的总物质。该裂解方法应该适用于所有类型的细菌。这些结果表明，使用 TSAW 裂解细菌的方法在不依赖于细菌类型的情况下是可行的。
