Mortar & Pestle – Porcelain

The porcelain mortar and pestle is a traditional and indispensable laboratory tool designed for the grinding, crushing, and mixing of solid samples. Made of durable glazed porcelain, the mortar provides a smooth surface for easy cleaning while the unglazed inner grinding surface ensures effective pulverization of materials. The heavy-duty pestle, also porcelain with a rounded end, delivers consistent pressure for efficient sample preparation.

Key Features

Material: High-quality glazed porcelain exterior with unglazed grinding surfaces
Design: Thick walls to withstand repeated grinding and minimize breakage
Ease of Cleaning: Glazed outer surface resists stains and absorbs minimal contaminants
Available Sizes: Offered in multiple diameters and capacities for varied applications

Applications & Uses

Sample Preparation: Grinding and homogenizing solid chemicals into fine powders for further analysis
Pharmaceutical Labs: Crushing tablets, herbs, and formulations for testing or compounding
Biological Labs: Homogenizing tissues or plant materials before extraction
Analytical Chemistry: Reducing particle size for solubility or reaction enhancement
Teaching Labs: Demonstrations of mechanical comminution techniques for students

Care & Maintenance

Clean immediately after use to avoid cross-contamination and residue buildup
Use mild detergent with warm water; avoid harsh abrasives that can damage surfaces
Ensure mortar and pestle are completely dry before storage to prevent cracking
Handle with care to avoid chipping, especially around rims and edges
Use only for compatible substances—avoid grinding very hard metals or strongly corrosive chemicals that can damage porcelain

The porcelain mortar and pestle combines durability with reliable performance, making it a must-have for laboratories, classrooms, and research facilities handling a wide range of solid samples.
