Product Description
Soft tissues such as brain and liver homogenize quickly and evenly when a pestle can be driven by a motor. This tapered tissue grinder pairs a glass tube with a PTFE-tipped pestle on a stainless steel rod, ready for power homogenization.
This listing is for Wheaton catalog number 358133: Tapered Tissue Grinder, with Steel Rod Pestle, 1 mL. The tube is borosilicate glass 3.3, and the tapered PTFE pestle tip is mounted on a 6.3 mm diameter stainless steel rod that fits common overhead stirrers. Components are interchangeable, so parts need not be kept matched, and the unit can be autoclaved. Complete grinders, replacement pestles and replacement tubes come in 1, 3, 5 and 15 mL sizes. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order alongside the rest of your glassware and closures.
