Product Description
Dense or fibrous tissue often resists a smooth pestle, but a serrated one cuts through it in fewer strokes. This 15 mL Potter-Elvehjem tissue grinder pairs a mortar with a serrated pestle for faster, more uniform homogenization of tougher samples.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 357984: Potter-Elvehjem Tissue Grinder with Serrated Pestle, 15 mL, Case of 2. Rotate the pestle by hand or with a suitable overhead stirrer while drawing it through the sample in the mortar. The serrations cut tissue before fine grinding against the tube wall. Replacement pestles and mortars are available separately, and grinders are packed two per case. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order alongside the rest of your glassware and closures.
