Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for the disintegration of biological cell material for the extraction of cell contents or the introduction of active substances into biological cell material.
- the cell walls and membranes have to be disrupted in order to be able to extract the cell contents from the cells in a suitable form.
- disintegration can also be used to introduce active substances (xenobiotics) into biological cell material.
- Disintegration is understood to mean a process that modifies the orderly state of the biological cell material or initiates or accompanies the modification.
- Another non-mechanical, physical disintegration process is the use of electrical fields to disrupt biological cell material suspended in the liquid medium, for example (DE 197 52 961, PCT / DE98 / 02979, PCT / EP99 / 03047, PCT / EP99 / 03039 , DE 199 06 277, PCT / EP00 / 01201, WO97 / 08293, DE 37 33 927 AI, WO98 / 02399, WO98 / 54306).
- pulsed electric fields with varying field strength or electric fields with constant electric field strength are used.
- pulsed electric fields with pulse durations of a few seconds.
- stronger fields and sufficient pulse duration especially with repeated treatment, there are permanent changes in the cell membrane, which leads to cell death, for example, in the treatment of living biological cells. This procedure is used as standard to kill microorganisms in food.
- biological cell material consists of an electrically conductive content that is enclosed by an electrically insulating, polarizable cell membrane, the electrical charge carriers (ions) shift inside when an external electrical field is applied (polarization).
- polarization the electrical charge carriers
- local potential differences arise between the cell interior and the cell exterior, which lead to the cell membrane losing its semi-permeable and / or selectively permeable properties and cell contents subsequently escaping from the cell or active substances (xenobiotics) being able to penetrate into the cell interior.
- the present invention is therefore based on the technical problem of providing a method for disintegrating biological cell material which enables the gentle extraction of cell contents or the introduction of active substances (xenobiotics) into biological cell material, the method being particularly suitable for use in simple, low-cost and space-saving electrical systems is suitable and completely or largely avoids the disadvantages mentioned above.
- the process should be universally applicable for the disintegration of different types of biological cell material, in particular the process time for extracting and isolating the cell contents or for introducing xenobiotics should be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the efficiency of the disintegration process should be high and the cell constituents and / or the active ingredients to be introduced should be protected during its use.
- the present invention solves this problem by providing a method for the disintegration of biological cell material, in particular for the extraction of cell contents and / or for the introduction of active substances into the biological cell material, the biological cell material having at least one electric field with con - is continuously exposed to alternating field strength with an abrupt change in the field strength and is thereby unlocked.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in particular in that the abrupt change in field strength of at least one electrical field to which the biological cell material is exposed has a periodic rectangular or periodic triangular course. Abrupt changes in the electric field strength due to the rectangular or triangular vibrations particularly support the disintegration of the biological cell material. Abrupt and thus rapid changes in the electric field strength disintegrate the biological cell material particularly efficiently.
- an electro-mechanical Maxwell stress advantageously occurs, which additionally effectively supports the disintegration of the biological cell material.
- the abrupt change in field strength is generated by superimposing a periodic fundamental with higher-frequency periodic vibrations.
- the abrupt change in field strength contains frequency components from 1 MHz to 10 GHz, preferably from 100 kHz to 1 MHz, particularly preferably from 200 kHz to 500 kHz.
- the method according to the invention is further characterized in that the action of an electric field with a continuously alternating abrupt change in field strength as a function of Frequency, amplitude, duration of treatment and temperature lead to permanent and / or transient pores in the membrane of the biological cell material, wherein the pores can have different diameters.
- the pores formed Through the pores formed, extracellular substances can get into the biological cell material and / or, conversely, intracellular cell contents can be released.
- the release or infiltration of substances depends on the strength and type of interaction between these substances and / or between the substances and the biological cell material, and on the service life and the diameter of the pores formed.
- the pores formed by the action of the continuously alternating electric field need not necessarily have a size similar to that of the substances to be extracted or introduced.
- the disintegrated membrane of the biological cell material is disintegrated to a high degree by the action of the continuously alternating electric field, so that the cell membrane is irreversible and in particular completely is constantly dissolved and the cell contents are completely released into the medium.
- the biological cell material is in a liquid or gel-like medium which is characterized in its physicochemical property as an electrolyte and which is electrically conductive.
- the medium preferably has a specific electrical resistance of 0.1 ⁇ S / cm to 1 ⁇ S / cm, preferably 0.1 mS / cm to 100 mS / cm, particularly preferably 1 mS / cm to 10 mS / cm.
- the medium is gaseous or essentially solid.
- the medium is characterized in that it is not an electrolyte.

- the chaotropic substances are preferably urea and / or guanidium salts.
- these substances are used in particular by acting on the biological cell material in such a way that the cell content is released more easily and quickly from inside the biological cell material.
- these substances diffuse through the electrical treatment of pores in the membrane into the interior of the cell, break down proteins, for example, or specifically cut DNA molecules into smaller fragments. The resulting proteins or DNA fragments can then diffuse freely through pores to the outside.
- a further mode of action of the substances is that the transient or permanent pores in the membrane of biological cell material that are created by the electrical treatment according to the invention are attacked by the substances. This can lead to an enlargement of the pores, which facilitates the passage of cell contents from the cell interior or the introduction of active substances (xenobiotics) from the outside into the cell interior.
- the substances used lead to the breakdown of the cell membrane or cell wall of the biological cell material.
- the biological cell material is exposed to at least one continuously alternating electrical field, in order to achieve these desired effects, lower concentrations of the abovementioned substances which come into contact with the biological cell material are necessary in comparison with the prior art. This advantageously prevents the substances used from reacting with the cell contents to be extracted or with the active substances to be introduced.
- the voltage on which the continuously alternating field strength is based is selected in its time-varying course in such a way that the current flow it inscribes is symmetrical with respect to its zero crossing. This means that no net load is transported across the field over the course of time. This reduces electrochemical processes on the electrodes of the apparatus used for disintegration in a particularly advantageous manner and minimizes the contamination of the medium with electrolysis products.
- the cell contents preferably leave the cell interior of the biological cell material due to diffusion and / or due to osmotic processes. Active ingredients (xenobiotics) are preferably introduced using the same mechanisms.
- the time course of the continuously alternating field strength is characterized in that a net charge is transported in a directional manner over the field on average.
- a net charge is transported in a directional manner over the field on average.
- the current flow described is asymmetrical with respect to its zero crossing over time.
