HG-600 Geno/Grinder® 2010
Tissue and Cell Lyser for Biological Applications
Quick Start Guide
For 115V (04500-17) and 230V (04576-84)
Step 1. Connect the powercord to the AC Inlet located in the back of the unit. Do not plug mill into
GFCI outlet. Power On the 2010 GG. “Please Wait”appears on the screen during start-up as the
software loads followed by the Home Screen.
Step 2. Load samples into the clamp (titer plates or vials). When using 4 or 6 titer plates, place a nesting
tray between them. If using vials (2ml or 5ml), vial holders can be stacked to maximize throughput.
Step 3. Position the clamp lid above the threaded rod with the guide on the upright at the rear of the clamp,
press and hold button on the locking knob while sliding down the threaded rod.
Step 4. Turn knob to tighten (finger tight) and check that the button has popped out.
How To Operate HG-600 Geno/Grinder®
Set up the Geno/Grinder® in a well ventilated,
unconfined space. The unit should be operated on a
flat, hard, stable benchtop due to the vigorous motion
and vibration generated during operation.
To install the clamp, use the 3/16 in Allen wrench
(supplied with power cord and manual). Raise lid and
attach clamp using the lock washers and bolts to the
top of the shaft.
Secure clamp base to shaft
using bolts and lock washers
supplied with clamp.
Upright must be
at rear of unit.

Important: Never run the Geno/Grinder with the 2012 clamp not screw-tightened or with titer plates held
loosely in the clamp. Damage and leakage will result. When processing samples in only one titer plate, load
an empty titer plate on the other half of the clamp assembly. Similarly, if less than a full holder of vials is
used, be sure to place an equal number of vials on the front and rear of the clamp, to ensure that the load is
balanced and tightly clamped. Empty vials can be used as place holders if an uneven number of samples are
run. The maximum recommended total sample load in the clamp assembly is 4 lb. (1.8 kg). The total sample
load includes sample, vials (or titer plates), grinding media, holders (or cryo-blocks), and nesting trays. For
sample loads exceeding 2.0 lb. (0.9 kg), the maximum recommended operating rate is 1500 rpm. Sample
loads less than 2.0 lb. can be run at rates up to the maximum of 1750 rpm. Dynamic loads greater than 2 lb.
can create a rate error. When stacking 4 or 6 titer plates, do not add more than five 4 mm steel balls to a
single titer plate well.
