Description
Pestle featuring a head diameter of 40 mm and an overall length of 160 mm serves as a robust laboratory tool for grinding solids in mortars and grinding dishes. With a weight of 120 g it delivers greater working mass for efficient particle reduction, homogenisation and sample preparation in chemical, pharmaceutical and materials laboratories. The larger head increases the contact surface available for circular grinding and pressing motions, supporting both dry and wet processing of powders and crystalline materials. Packaged as 1 pc, the pestle is suited to medium-capacity mortar bowls and everyday bench workflows. This Vitlab pestle sits within the labware category of dishes, evaporating dishes and mortars and complements standard grinding sets used prior to analysis. Laboratories select such dimensions when moderate-to-higher grinding force and broader surface coverage are required for consistent sample breakdown. Clear specification of head size and length simplifies matching to the corresponding mortar, helping maintain reproducible preparation steps across repeated analytical or research tasks.
This article is part of Mortars & pestles, in Dishes, crucibles & porcelain.

Questions about Pestle, head Ø 40 mm, L 160 mm, weight 120 g, 1 unit(s)
What is this article?
Pestle, head Ø 40 mm, L 160 mm, weight 120 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.
