The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep HG-600 Geno/Grinder is a high-throughput plant and animal tissue homogenizer and cell lyser designed to simplify and speed up sample processing, delivering faster, more efficient extractions with consistent results. Designed for rapid cell disruption, cell lysis and tissue homogenization through bead beating.
Typical applications include: tissue homogenization, DNA/RNA research and extraction, cell lysis, pesticide residue extraction, protein and metabolite extraction, biofuel research, and QuEChERS.
Typical samples include: animal tissue, plant tissue, cell cultures, fruit, cannabis, seeds, yeast, and bacteria.
User-friendly and easy to operate touchscreen can be tilted for better viewing. Controls allow you to program and save up to 500 protocols, ensuring repeatability. Protocols are easily labeled, saved, recalled, and exported via USB.
The unit is equipped with an administrative lockout (passcode) which allows you to restrict user access to specific protocols. The double-locking lid provides safe operation, the sound insulation the suspension system ensures quiet, vibration-free operation.
A large observation window and interior LED lighting improves visibility and simplifies monitoring. The quick-release adjustable clamp makes loading and unloading vials or titer plates hassle-free.
Cole-Parmer Geno/Grinder 2010 testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all equipment to confirm that it operates properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. We can’t test for a specific analytical application. We do our best to simulate lab conditions in which you will use the equipment.
Additionally, if you have specific testing requirements or requests, please inform us. We will address these requirements during testing.

Cole-Parmer Geno/Grinder 2010 Tissue Homogenizer and Cell Lyser – Frequently Asked Questions
What are some of the typical applications the Geno/Grinder 2010 can be used for?
The Geno/Grinder 2010 is a high-throughput tissue homogenizer and cell lyser capable of rapid mechanical disruption of biological samples using bead beating. Our customers most often purchase the unit to use for applications including:
- DNA and RNA extraction
- Protein and metabolite extraction
- Cell lysis and tissue homogenization
- Pesticide residue extraction (QuEChERS)
- Microbial disruption (yeast and bacteria)
Similar to other bead mill style homogenizers, this instrument homogenizes samples by vigorously shaking tubes or microplates containing beads and sample material.
What sample types can the Geno/Grinder 2010 process?
The Geno/Grinder 2010 can homogenize a wide variety of materials, such as:
- Animal tissue
- Plant tissue (leaves, roots, stems, seeds)
- Cell cultures
- Yeast and bacteria
- Fruits and plant matter
- Cannabis and agricultural samples
It can also process samples with or without extraction reagents depending on the workflow. Please contact American Instrument Exchange – we may be able to provide a manual with more information for users.
What is the typical sample processing time?
Very fast, short processing times. Most samples can be homogenized in about 1–2 minutes, depending on the sample type, bead selection, and protocol settings.
What grinding media can be used? Does American Instrument Exchange supply media?
The Geno/Grinder 2010 supports several bead materials:
- Stainless steel
- Silica
- Zirconia
- Ceramic beads or cylinders
Selection depends on the sample type and desired extraction method. American Instrument Exchange doesn’t typically provide accessories like grinding media but we always want to be as helpful to our customers at possible, so please talk to our sales staff for more information.
What control features does the instrument include?
The Geno/Grinder 2010 includes a programmable touchscreen interface that is easy and intuitive to use. It allows users to:
- Set run time, rate, cycles, and pause intervals
- Save up to 500 protocols
- Export protocols via USB
- Restrict access with administrative lockout
These features help ensure consistent sample processing and reproducibility.
What environmental conditions are recommended for operation?
Like with most laboratory equipment, appropriate ambient conditions are essential to making sure the Geno/Grinder 2010 functions correctly. Use the instrument in the following conditions:
- Indoors only
- At temperatures 5–40 °C (40–104 °F)
- At relative humidity up to 80% below 31 °C
- At altitudes up to 2000 m (6600 ft)
Operating outside these conditions can seriously affect performance and safety, and impact the long term viability and functionality of the machine.
