Pestle and tube homogenizers, also called tissue grinders are used to disrupt plant cells and animal tissue. These straight walled models are recommended for softer tissues samples.
PTFE Pestles
- 1-5/8" (41.3mm) long PTFE top on a 7" (178 mm) long x 3/16" (4.76mm) diameter stainless steel shaft.
- Shafts fit adjustable chucks on any listed motor drives
- All shafts specially notched to fit the L11 quick chuck.
Tubes
- Precision-bore borosilicate glass.
- About 5-3/4" (146 mm) long, except the S38, which is 4" (102 mm) long for centrifuge use.
- Tubes for glass pestles have medium-ground surface on inside walls of grinding chamber.
- Tubes can withstand temperatures as low as liquid nitrogen.
Tube diameter listed is the approximate outside diameter of the grinding section.
