Description
Pestle 56 size 5 with glazed grinding surface is a laboratory grinding tool for mortar work, featuring a head diameter of 48 mm and an overall length of 185 mm. The glazed contact face provides a smooth working surface suited to gentle homogenisation, mixing and sample preparation where a less aggressive action is preferred. Its defined head geometry supports controlled pressure transfer into the mortar bowl, helping achieve uniform particle reduction of powders, salts and soft solids. Supplied in a pack of five pieces from manufacturer Haldenwanger, this size-5 pestle fits routine analytical and preparative workflows in chemistry, pharmacy and materials laboratories. The glazed finish reduces adhesion of moist or sticky materials compared with rough faces and simplifies cleaning between samples. Length and head diameter are matched for comfortable handling during extended grinding sessions while remaining compatible with standard laboratory mortars of corresponding capacity.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestles 56 glazed, Size 5, lenght 185mm, Ø of head 48mm
What is this article?
Pestles 56 glazed, Size 5, lenght 185mm, Ø of head 48mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Haldenwanger for laboratory use. It sits in Mortars & pestles, inside Dishes, crucibles & porcelain, in Labware.
A mortar and pestle grind a solid by hand. Porcelain is the ordinary laboratory set. Agate and glass are chosen when the sample must not pick up porcelain dust. The unglazed grinding surface, not the glossy outside, does the work.
A dish is an open vessel for drying, evaporating or holding a solid. Porcelain and glazed ceramic take a higher temperature than borosilicate glass, which is why a crucible, not a beaker, goes into a furnace. A watch glass covers, or holds a small amount for drying. A mortar is for grinding. The temperature and the chemical, not the shape alone, choose the material. Laboratory ware of this family is listed under ISO laboratory ware.
