Product Description
Tough, fibrous tissues need a grinder that shears effectively while keeping samples cold. Tenbroeck grinders are well suited to liver, intestine and heart tissue, delivering thorough homogenization with controlled hand operation and without the cost or noise of a powered homogenizer.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 357424: Tenbroeck Tissue Grinder, 7 mL, Case of 2. Each unit is borosilicate glass 3.3 with a ground pestle and mortar; pestle clearance ranges from 0.09 to 0.16 mm. The hollow pestle can be packed with ice, and the mortar has an expanded reservoir and pouring lip for decanting. Parts are interchangeably ground, so they need not be kept matched, and units can be autoclaved. Sizes run from 1 to 40 mL, packed two per case. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
