Description
Pestle with head diameter 35 mm and length 145 mm is intended for laboratory grinding and homogenisation work with matching mortars. Weighing 85 g, it offers a balanced intermediate size for efficient particle-size reduction, mixing of solids and preparation of uniform samples in analytical and research settings. The enlarged head relative to smaller variants increases contact area with the mortar wall, supporting both dry grinding and wet dispersion steps common in chemistry, pharmacy and materials laboratories. Supplied as 1 pc, the pestle is ready for integration into standard mortar and grinding-dish assemblies. Manufactured by Vitlab, it forms part of the broader labware range of dishes, evaporating dishes and mortars used for sample preparation. Typical applications include powder processing, solid sample breakdown and pre-treatment prior to weighing, extraction or instrumental analysis. Defined head diameter and overall length allow straightforward pairing with appropriate mortar volumes, helping laboratories maintain reproducible grinding conditions across routine workflows without excess mass or oversized geometry.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestle, head Ø 35 mm, L 145 mm, weight 85 g, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Pestle, head Ø 35 mm, L 145 mm, weight 85 g, 1 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Vitlab 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.
