Description
Pestle 56, coarse is a porcelain laboratory pestle intended for use with matching mortars and grinding dishes in sample preparation. This size 0a model features a top diameter of 28 mm and a coarse working surface suited to initial size reduction and homogenisation of solid materials before finer grinding steps. Supplied as a single piece with a weight of 0,070 kg, it belongs to the established Pestle 56 series used across analytical, teaching and routine laboratory workflows. The porcelain construction provides a hard, chemically resistant grinding face for dry or wet processing of powders, salts, minerals and other solid samples commonly handled in chemistry, materials and quality-control laboratories. Designed for pairing with corresponding mortar formats in the dishes, evaporating dishes and mortars category, this pestle from manufacturer Haldenwanger supports reproducible manual grinding where controlled particle breakdown is required. Its compact size 0a geometry is practical for small sample portions and limited bench space, while the coarse finish helps open up agglomerates efficiently. One unit is supplied per pack for straightforward stock replenishment of mortar-and-pestle sets in research, education and industrial lab environments.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestle 56, coarse, porcelain, size 0a, Ø top 28 mm, 1 pc
What is this article?
Pestle 56, coarse, porcelain, size 0a, Ø top 28 mm, 1 pc 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.
