Description

The MEDILAB Porcelain Mortar (American Design) is a durable, laboratory-grade grinding vessel developed for efficient crushing, homogenising, and mixing of solid samples. Its classic American-style shape provides excellent stability and control, making it ideal for routine sample preparation in analytical, educational, and industrial laboratories. Designed for precision and long-term use, it supports consistent particle size reduction essential for accurate testing and formulation work.

Key Features

• Strong, high-density porcelain body engineered for repeated grinding.
• Unglazed inner surface ensures superior abrasion performance and effective sample breakdown.
• The American-design profile offers improved stability and easy handling during grinding.
• Exterior glaze provides chemical resistance and simplifies cleaning.
• Ergonomically matched pestle for comfortable grip and controlled pressure.
• Resistant to common lab reagents, acids, and alkalis.
• Smooth pouring lip (where applicable) for convenient sample transfer.

Technical Specifications

• Available Capacities: Multiple sizes ranging from small analytical mortars to large laboratory volumes (custom/OEM sizes available).
• Design: Precision-matched mortar and pestle for uniform grinding contact.
• Tolerance: Consistent shape and thickness for reliable performance across batches.
• Accessories Included: A Matching porcelain pestle is supplied with every mortar.

 Handling & Precautions

• Avoid crushing extremely hard materials that could damage the grinding surface.
• Clean with mild detergent and soft brushes; avoid abrasive pads or sudden temperature changes.
• Ensure the mortar is completely dry before placing it in an oven or autoclave.
• Do not expose to open flame or rapid heating/cooling cycles.
• Store with padding or separated from other ceramics to prevent rim chipping.

Applications

• Widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, food testing, and environmental laboratories.
• Suitable for grinding tablets, crystals, plant materials, reagents, and solid compounds.
• Essential for sample homogenization in QA/QC testing and research workflows.
• Ideal for teaching laboratories, universities, and basic analytical training.
