Kimble Chase Tissue Grinder Pestle 40 ml Large Clearance

Description

The Kimble 885301-0040 Chase Tissue Grinder Pestle is a specialized component designed for use with a 40 ml tissue grinding vessel. This pestle is an essential part of a tissue grinder assembly, which is used to homogenize tissue samples for the extraction of cellular components like DNA, RNA, and proteins.

A key feature of this pestle is its large clearance design, meaning it has a looser fit with the inner wall of the grinding vessel compared to small-clearance pestles. This design is specifically advantageous for initial tissue disruption or for processing soft tissues that do not require aggressive shearing. The larger clearance allows for a rapid, initial breakdown of the sample in a larger volume of buffer. This Kimble Chase tissue grinder pestle is a vital tool in molecular biology, biochemistry, and pathology laboratories, serving as the first step in preparing uniform tissue lysates.
