Description
The Micro Polypropylene Pestle, also known as a microtube sample grinding pestle, is designed for efficient small-volume sample preparation in compatible laboratory tubes. It is suitable for molecular biology, microbiology, biotechnology, teaching and research laboratories. These pestles are intended for use with compatible 1.5 mL and 0.5 mL tubes. Their compact format supports manual sample processing where small amounts of biological or laboratory material need to be mixed, resuspended or ground directly in a microtube.
The pestles are useful for resuspending bacterial cells during routine microbiology and molecular biology workflows. They also support preparation steps associated with nucleic acid and protein workflows where controlled small-volume handling is required. The design is also helpful for manual tissue grinding and small-scale homogenisation. This makes the pestles suitable for applications where simple mechanical disruption is needed before extraction, analysis or further sample processing. The pestles are manufactured from polypropylene and are stated as autoclavable. This supports suitable cleaning and sterilisation procedures where required by the laboratory method. The material is stated as conforming to US FDA 21 CFR requirements, supporting confidence in routine laboratory handling applications. Users should confirm chemical compatibility, tube fit and cleaning procedure before use.
LabChoice Australia supplies Micro Polypropylene Pestles for molecular biology laboratories, microbiology laboratories, biotechnology laboratories, university teaching laboratories and general research facilities. They are suitable for bacterial cell resuspension, tissue grinding, small-volume homogenisation and sample preparation using compatible 1.5 mL and 0.5 mL tubes. Supplied as a pack of 12.
