2-Inch Black Agate Mortar and Pestle Set | Grinding Tool

2-Inch Black Agate Mortar and Pestle Set (50mm ID) – Apex Labs

The 2-Inch Black Agate Mortar and Pestle Set supplied by Apex Labs is a specialized analytical-grade specimen preparation tool designed for micro-sample processing and contamination-sensitive laboratory operations. Crafted from high-density Brazilian natural black agate stone, this set features an outstanding Mohs hardness rating (6.5–7.0) and zero porosity, preventing sample absorption, wear loss, and cross-contamination. Featuring a 50 mm inner bowl diameter (~10–15 mL working volume), this compact set is ideal for micro-volume sample prep, FTIR spectroscopy pellet preparation (KBr pelleting), high-value pharmaceutical compounding, and trace elemental analysis.
