  • Page 17: Pro Generators Introduction

    PRO Generators Introduction Description: PRO Scientific believes that as homogenizing requirements increase from hand held units to bench top laboratory units, interchangeability of generators is a necessity. All of the PRO generators will fit any of the PRO homogenizers. The ability to scale-up in size is important, therefore, all of the generators are designed with this in mind.
  • Page 18: Operating Procedures

    6) To disconnect the generator from the motor unit, remove the safety clip, push the generator up into the motor collar as far as possible and turn the generator clockwise ½ turn. The generator will be pushed out of the motor collar by the force of the internal spring. Operating Procedures: 1) The generator may be used with either an open chamber or within a sealed chamber assembly.
  • Page 19: Cleaning And Lubrication

    Cleaning and Lubrication: 1) Cleaning - Immediately after you have finished working with the generator, the generator must be cleaned so that the substance residues do not stick to the rotor and stator and allow small bacterial cultures to form in undesirable places. For this purpose, the generator should be run in a solvent, which dissolves the substance residue and does not harm the components.
  • Page 20: Assembly Of The Generator

    c. Remove the rotor shaft collar assembly by loosening the setscrew located in the side of the rotor shaft collar from the rotor shaft using the hex wrench end of the screwdriver tool (Do not unscrew the setscrew from within the rotor shaft collar assembly). d.
  • Page 21 8) With the rotor knife attached, place the generator with the blade end downward onto a flat surface. Loosen the setscrew located on the side of the rotor shaft collar. Push the rotor shaft collar downward until the PTFE washer is in contact with both the bottom of the rotor shaft collar and the top of the upper bearing.
  • Page 22: Pro Multi-Gen Introduction

    PRO Multi-Gen Introduction PRO Multi-Gen Adapters And Generators: The Multi-Gen generators and adapters have been designed to allow continuous processing without having to clean or decontaminate the generator between samples. Constructed with 316 stainless steel and PTFE, the Multi-Gen generator can be autoclaved assembled or in parts.
  • Page 23: Pro Sealed Chamber Assembly Introduction

    PRO Sealed Chamber Assembly Introduction Sealed Chamber Assembly with a Blade: The sealed chambers are by far the industry’s safest method of homogenizing with either a blade or a rotor stator generator. The unique design of the sealed chamber assembly does not allow the user to operate the system with the blade exposed. The blade assembly can not be engaged to the drive motor unless the chamber is attached.
  • Page 24: Using The Chamber Assembly With A Blade

    WARNING: Even when the homogenizer uses the sealed chamber assemblies, the chamber assembly should still be operated only with the bottom of the chamber assembly resting on the tabletop, the bottom of the cooling/heating vessel or the top of a height block. g.

    above 5,000 rpm by immersing the chamber in an ice bath or similar cooling vessel. 2) Ball Milling - At revolutions below 5,000 rpm, particles may be broken down by using hard materials, such as glass beads. The homogenizer will act as a “ball mill”...
