Isolating cells and their parts:
Introduction
Most of the animal and plant tissues contain a mixture of cell types, and most of cells contain multiple subcellular organelles. However microscopy techniques may be used to visualize organelles and large molecules inside cells, A lot studies on cell structure and function need samples of a specific type of cell, components or subcellular organelle within them. Most biochemical process need obtaining large numbers of cells and then physically disorderly them to isolate their components. Tissue samples will frequently provide large quantities of material but it will contain a heterogeneous mix of cells. Techniques have been developed where homogeneous populations of cells may be isolated, grown in culture to amplify them, and consequently studied or fractionated into their component parts.
