The Temperature Controlled GenoLyte® is an efficient, compact laboratory homogenizer that uses a circulating chiller to maintain sample temperatures between 0 to 10 °C while effectively disrupting cellular materials by horizontally oscillating 2 mL vials. Common samples include seeds, stems, roots, leaves, and animal tissue.

Operation is simple: the vials are secured in the sample cooling chamber, and the lid is closed. The controls are checked for the proper running time, rate, and the start button is pushed. When the run is complete, the lid is lifted and the vials are removed. The digital control panel allows you to set the timer in five-second increments; the timer sounds down in one-second intervals.

The vial holder accommodates three vials that are continuously cooled. A circulating chiller is required for continuous temperature control. The GenoLyte is compatible with Polystat® Circulating Baths or most circulating chiller systems. Purchase chiller and vials separately.

The HG-200 GenoLyte® is a highly efficient, compact tissue homogenizer designed to streamline sample preparation for labs needing fast and consistent extractions of nucleic acids, proteins, and other key molecules. It is specifically designed for rapid cell disruption, cell lysis and tissue homogenization through bead beating. Whether you're working with biological samples or tough materials like rocks and minerals, this system ensures quick, reliable results with minimal effort.

Typical applications include: DNA/RNA extraction, forensic/drug testing, RoHS/WEEE, consumer product testing, food safety, materials research & medical research.

Typical samples include: Animal tissue, plastic and polymers, yeast, pharmaceuticals, food products, electronic components, textiles, hair, teeth, bones, plant tissue such as cannabis, seeds, leaves and roots.

The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep HG-200 GenoLyte rapidly disrupts cells and tissues for DNA/RNA and protein extractions. The unit works with a wide range of sample types including seeds, stems, roots, leaves, and animal tissue. As a multi-purpose mill, in addition to DNA/RNA and protein extraction, it is also capable of pulverizing the toughest rocks, minerals, cement and ceramics, rapidly reducing samples to analytical fineness, blending powders, and making emulsions.

The HG-200 is versatile and easy to use and accommodates 2 mL, 5 mL, 7 mL, and 12 mL vials with interchangeable vial holders. Choose between steel, tungsten carbide, and plastic vials based on your specific application. The GenoLyte can blend powders, create emulsions, and prepare samples for ICP and XRF analysis.

By eliminating the need for manual grinding with mortar and pestle, the HG-200 GenoLyte reduces the risk of cross-contamination and ensure reliable and consistent results. The horizontal oscillating motion ensures uniform disruption with steel balls or beads and a lysis agent. The resultant finely ground samples increase surface area for improved acid dissolution and analysis.

The Cole-Parmer SamplePrep GenoLyte is user-friendly and designed for easy operation. The digital timer ensures precise run control. The large, clear lid provides visibility of the sample loading area. The safety interlock lid ensures secure operation. The clamp orientation makes it easy to load and unload the samples.

Operation is easy, simply load vials into the secure clamp and close the lid. Set the time and speed using the intuitive digital controls. Press start and let the GenoLyte do the work.

Interchangeable vial holders for each vial type are sold separately.

Effective September 2023, the Spex SamplePrep 1200 GenoLyte® has now been rebranded Cole-Parmer® SamplePrep under model number HG-200 GenoLyte®. All the same great features and specifications, just with a new and improved look.
