Product Description
Very small samples deserve a grinder that keeps every bit of material inside the tube. This 0.5 mL micro tissue grinder pairs a glass tube with a PTFE pestle and a screw cap, so samples can be homogenized and then sealed in the same vessel.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 357537: Replacement Pestle for Micro Tissue Grinder with Cap, 0.5 mL, Case of 2. The tube is borosilicate glass 3.3 with a 13-425 open top screw cap and PTFE-faced silicone rubber liner. Pestle clearance is 0.05 to 0.15 mm. The grinder is autoclavable, and replacement pestles are sold separately. Units are packed two per case. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
