Combines both conical and cylindrical surfaces to effectively reduce tissue and produce a uniform homogenate
- Ideal for connective tissue, such as muscle, heart and lung
- Clearance between pestles and tubes is 0.004 to 0.006 inches*
- Pestle can be motor driven (see Thomas number 3411E25 for Drive Unit)
Duall tissue grinder with glass pestle and ground glass tube progressively grinds tissue samples into a fine, uniform homogenate. As the pestle is forced lower into the tube, the sample is displaced and forced between the straight outside wall of the pestle and the inside wall of the tube, compressing the tissue cells until they rupture.
Available in working capacities of 1, 3, 5, 15, 30 and 50 mL.
* Stated clearances for the tubes and pestles are “total” and not “annular”.
