Product Description
Tenbroeck grinders remain a popular choice because they can be worked by hand or driven by a motor, giving flexibility for both delicate and tougher tissues. The tight pestle clearance produces fine, uniform homogenates, and the all-glass build is easy to clean and inspect between samples.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 885000-0007: KONTES Tenbroeck Tissue Grinder, all-glass, 7 mL. The grinder is all borosilicate glass 3.3, with a pestle-to-tube clearance of 0.004 to 0.006 in. The pestle is tooled for a single-hole rubber stopper (not supplied), so a short metal rod can link it to a motor chuck for slow-speed drive. Complete units, replacement pestles and tubes are offered and fully interchangeable. LIGHT LABS ships genuine DWK Life Sciences products with knowledgeable support from our Englewood, Colorado team.
