Description
Agate mortar 50 x 40 mm, approx. 10 ml, 25 mm high, with pestle is a laboratory grinding set designed for manual pulverisation and mixing of solid samples. Made from agate, the mortar offers an outer diameter of 50 mm, an inner diameter of 40 mm and a height of 25 mm, providing an approximate capacity of 10 ml. A matching pestle is included to enable efficient grinding on the hard, wear-resistant agate surface. This non-metallic construction is appropriate for sample preparation where abrasion resistance and low contamination risk are important. The moderate volume suits work with small to medium sample amounts in analytical, pharmaceutical and materials laboratories. Available as a single complete unit from manufacturer IDL GmbH, the mortar and pestle support everyday grinding tasks that require a durable inert tool. Agate delivers mechanical stability together with chemical inertness for reliable laboratory performance. The 50 x 40 mm dimensions assist consistent preparation of powders and crystals prior to subsequent analytical steps in research and quality-control environments.

Questions about Agate mortar 50 x 40 mm, ca. 10 ml, 25 mm height, with pestle
What is this article?
Agate mortar 50 x 40 mm, ca. 10 ml, 25 mm height, with pestle is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes IDL GmbH 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.
