Abstract

Disclosed is an ultrasonic cell-destroyer using cell-suspending solution containers each having a groove at its bottom, thereby causing ultrasonic energy available to converge to the container bottom to increase the efficiency at which cells can be destroyed in the cell-suspending solution. The ultrasonic cell-destroyer may use a rotary container holder, which is capable of rotating a plurality of containers in the bath to evenly expose all the containers to ultrasonic wave.
