Description
Mortar with pestle, aluminium oxide, 75 mm is a hard ceramic grinding set for demanding laboratory sample preparation. Fabricated from aluminium oxide at 99,7 % Al2O3, the mortar and matching pestle combine high chemical corrosion resistance with elevated hardness for abrasive and chemically aggressive materials. Hardness reaches 7 on the Mohs scale and 83 on the Rockwell scale (45N), supporting effective size reduction of tough solids while limiting wear of the working surfaces. The set is recommended for work involving liquid nitrogen, extending its use to low-temperature grinding applications. This compact 75 mm unit from manufacturer Labbox is supplied as a complete mortar-and-pestle pair ready for the bench. Net weight is 0,520 kg, giving a stable footprint during grinding without excessive bulk. Typical uses include pulverising minerals, ceramics and other hard samples, preparing fine powders and homogenising materials where porcelain or softer ceramics would wear too quickly. The aluminium oxide construction suits research, analytical and materials laboratories that require durable, chemically resistant grinding tools for routine and specialised workflows.

Questions about High Alumina Mortar with Pestle, 75 mm
What is this article?
High Alumina Mortar with Pestle, 75 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox 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.
