Description
Mortar with pestle, aluminium oxide, 100 mm is a hard ceramic grinding set intended for laboratory pulverising and sample homogenisation. Produced from aluminium oxide at 99,7 % Al2O3, both mortar and pestle deliver high chemical corrosion resistance together with substantial hardness for processing abrasive or aggressive solids. Rated hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale and 83 on the Rockwell scale (45N), enabling efficient size reduction while resisting premature surface wear. The assembly is recommended for use with liquid nitrogen, supporting cryogenic grinding where low-temperature brittleness aids particle breakdown. This 100 mm format from manufacturer Labbox offers a larger working diameter than smaller alumina mortars and is supplied as a matched mortar-and-pestle set. Net weight is 0,760 kg, providing a secure stance during vigorous grinding. Applications include mineral and ceramic sample preparation, fine powder production and homogenisation tasks in which softer porcelain tools would degrade too rapidly. The durable aluminium oxide construction fits research, analytical chemistry and materials laboratories that need chemically resistant, long-service grinding equipment for routine and specialised work.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about High Alumina Mortar with Pestle, 100 mm
What is this article?
High Alumina Mortar with Pestle, 100 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.
