Product Description
Motor-driven grinding puts stress on glass, and if a tube cracks the last thing you want is homogenate on the bench. This DUALL grinder adds a clear plastic safety coating to the tube that holds the contents in place if breakage occurs, protecting both users and samples.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 885460-0020: KONTES DUALL Tissue Grinder, with glass pestle, and KimCote glass tube, Size 20, 1 mL. It matches the all-glass 885450 series, with a borosilicate glass 3.3 tube and ground glass pestle and a clearance of 0.004 to 0.006 in. The transparent coating keeps the homogenate in full view.

LIGHT LABS supplies the complete DWK Life Sciences line, including Kimble, Wheaton and DURAN labware.
