Product Description
Less time at the bench and more complete homogenization are the main reasons to choose a tapered grinder. Compared with Tenbroeck and Potter-Elvehjem designs, this tapered style improves grinding efficiency, so samples reach a uniform consistency with noticeably fewer strokes.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 358110: Replacement Tube for Tapered Tissue Grinder, 5 mL, Case of 2. The grinder is borosilicate glass 3.3 with a tapered pestle and mortar ground to a clearance of 0.1 to 0.15 mm. Components are interchangeably ground, so parts need not be kept matched during cleaning, and units can be autoclaved to prevent cross contamination. Complete grinders, replacement pestles and replacement tubes are offered in 1, 3, 5 and 15 mL sizes. LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.

- Tapered geometry – Concentrates shear for quick homogenization.
- Interchangeable parts – No need to keep pestles and tubes matched.
