Full Description

DWK Life Sciences Tapered Tissue Grinders

These Tapered Tissue Grinders have an improved design which incorporates a longer tapered surface on both the mortar and pestle. The conical surface allows initial size reduction followed by passage through the cylindrical section for the final homogenization step. Grinding efficiency is improved, compared to the Tenbroeck and Potter-Elvehjem designs. When the pestle is bottomed within the mortar, the clearance is a uniform 0.004" to 0.006" (0.1 to 0.15mm). Available with either glass or Teflon® pestle. Both feature ground glass tube interiors.

TheGround Glass Pestle model is capable of homogenizing connective tissue including heart, muscle and lung. This unit can also be used for homogenizing skin and plant tissue. Choose the model with theTeflon® Pestle with 1/4¯-diameter (6.4mm) stainless steel rod when working with soft tissues such as brain or liver.

Either style is supplied one per case.
