Abstract
A micro lysis and analysis process applying precise quantities of focused energy, such as light energy, to a precise microscopic area of a very small cell sample to activate an energy sensitive agent, such as a fluorescing agent, which permits measurement of cell fragility providing a means for determining the sensitivity of cells to particular chemicals, drugs, and/or diseases and the susceptibility and/or exposure of the cells to same.
