Tissue grinders are designed to gently homogenize fresh, soft tissue in an excess of an appropriate solvent. Most tissue grinders are made of glass or plastic. This all stainless-steel mortar and pestle (Potter-Elvehjem style) tissue grinder provides superior temperature control and greater plunger forces without the danger of shattering glass. Less effort required to achieve complete homogenization because of the precise 0.1 mm clearance between the smooth walls of the pestle and tube. The Tissue Grinder has a working volume of 5-15ml and comes with a removable, broad base for convenient upright standing during use and easy cleaning afterwards. 21 cm X 5 cm, 0.5 Kg. Type 316 stainless-steel construction.
