How To Operate 2010 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.

(Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
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.
Note: The threaded rod and knob assembly of the 2012 clamp are considered wear parts and may need to be
replaced after repeated usage.
A) Slide the clamp lid on top
of the vials. Screw down
the locking knob on the
threaded rod.
B) Turn knob clockwise to
tighten (finger tight).
C) Make sure that vial
holders are secure
and cannot be
moved from side
to side.

From the Home Screen the
Control Panel, Saved Protocols,
and Run History, and Settings
can be accessed by the user.
Programmable operating
commands through a series of
touchscreen displays. USB to
imports/export saved protocols,
run history, diagnostic data, or
upgrade the system software.
Administrative lockout (passcode)
which allows Lab Manager to
restrict user access to specific
protocols. Default code is 0000.
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.
