Agate Mortar & Pestle Sets
Agate Mortars & Pestles are ideal for grinding and crushing solid samples into fine powders. Agate is a highly dense material that prevents any bacteria or other contaminants from becoming lodged on its surface, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. These mortars and pestles can be utilized in a wide variety of laboratory environments.
