The Basics

• Designed originally for Pioneer Hybrid International, a leading company in genetic crop science and now a division of DuPont

• The Geno/Grinder® provides efficient cell disruption of plant and animal tissues for the isolation of nucleic acids (RNA/DNA), enzymes, yeast and proteins.


Features & Benefits – Clamp Design

• Unique, true vertical action ensures complete sample processing

• Standard Clamp accepts two 96-well titer plates & various vials from 0.6mL to 50mL

• Large Clamp doubles throughput from 2 titer plates up to 4 and holds up to sixteen 50mL vials

• Full range of cryogenic accessories for temperature sensitive samples

Patented


Who Can Benefit from a Geno/Grinder®?

• Institutions using high-throughput DNA sample processing

• Biotech / Pharmaceutical• Agriculture/Crop Sciences• Public Health Labs• Colleges/Universities


Samples & Applications

Rapid preparation of multiple samples for PCR sampling

Fast disruption to allow extraction of Nucleic acids, RNA/DNA

Lysing of yeast, bacterial cellsPesticide AnalysisQuEChERS Method


QuEChERS Method

• Plant tissue from fruits and vegetables are homogenized using the Geno/Grinder®

• QuEChERS reagents are added for extraction, eliminating cross contamination

• Can be homogenized at room temperature or with Kryo-Tech® accessories

• Used by FDA
