How To Operate HG-250 GenoLyte

Set up the homogenizer 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.
▪
Tilt the cabinet, and remove the two bolts on the
bottom. They hold the floating baseplate to the
cabinet for shipping.
▪
Remove the foam protector around the clamp
assembly inside the unit before turning it on.
Important: Cooling chamber only accepts Cole-
Parmer 2 ml vials and Standard 2 ml vials.
