Description
Pestle 56, rough, size 0A is a laboratory grinding pestle with a head diameter of 28 mm and an overall length of 125 mm. The rough working surface is intended for effective comminution and homogenisation of solid samples in matching mortars during routine sample preparation. Its defined head geometry supports controlled contact with the mortar wall, helping operators apply consistent pressure when reducing crystalline, granular or powdered materials. Measuring 125 mm in length, the tool offers a practical handle reach for bench-scale work while the 28 mm friction-surface diameter suits size 0A mortar pairings. Supplied as a single piece from manufacturer Haldenwanger, this pestle fits standard laboratory workflows in chemistry, materials testing and educational laboratories where mechanical grinding remains a first preparation step. The rough finish characterises the abrasive interface needed for initial particle-size reduction before finer polishing stages. Compact dimensions keep the instrument easy to store alongside complementary mortar sets, and the clear size 0A designation simplifies replacement and pairing within existing glassware inventories. Ideal for everyday sample work-up where reproducible manual grinding is required.

Questions about Pestles 56 unglazed, Size 0A, lenght 125mm, Ø of head 28mm
What is this article?
Pestles 56 unglazed, Size 0A, lenght 125mm, Ø of head 28mm 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.
