The MEDILAB Micro Pestle is a precision-moulded, double-ended pestle designed for efficient grinding, homogenization, and mixing of biological samples in microcentrifuge tubes. One end fits 1.5 mL tubes, while the opposite end is optimized for 0.5 mL tubes, enabling versatile sample processing. It is essential for molecular biology, cell lysis, DNA/RNA extraction, protein studies, and sample preparation workflows requiring uniform disruption with minimal contamination risk.
