The MEDILAB Agate Mortar & Pestle (Black) is a precision-engineered grinding set designed for uniform, contamination-free sample preparation in scientific and industrial environments. Manufactured from high-purity alumina, it ensures exceptional hardness, chemical resistance, and durability required for analytical accuracy. It provides smooth, consistent grinding of solids—ideal for laboratories handling sensitive materials, fine powders, and high-purity samples.
Key Features
- High-purity alumina construction for superior hardness and long operational life.
- Non-porous, smooth grinding surface prevents sample contamination and sticking.
- Excellent resistance to acids, solvents, and laboratory reagents.
- Ensures fine, uniform particle size for reproducible analytical results.
- Low abrasion rate maintains sample purity and mortar integrity.
- Ergonomically designed pestle for comfortable and controlled grinding.
- Highly durable with strong impact resistance, suitable for routine lab use.
Material Specifications
