WHEATON® Tissue Grinder
Tenbroeck Tissue Grinders have a hollow handle that allows packing with ice, making them suitable for tissue such as liver, intestines and heart.

• Ideal for grinding liver, intestine and heart tissue
• Hollow pestle can be packed with ice and mortar contains expanded reservoir and pouring lip for easy decanting
• Made from WHEATON 33 low extractable borosilicate glass
• Components are interchangeably ground eliminating need to keep parts matched during cleaning
• Unit can be autoclaved / sterilized to prevent cross contamination between samples
• Pestle clearance range: 0.09 – 0.16mm

Dounce Tissue Grinders are designed to retain a high percentage of cell nuclei and mitochondria in soft tissues or from cell cultures. In operation, the pestle ball is encircled in liquid, which avoids heat buildup by reducing friction. This grinder is ideal for enzyme studies. The initial grinding is performed using the "loose" pestle. The grinding process is completed using the "tight" pestle. This grinder is used by moving the pestle up and down, and works best with cell suspensions or very soft tissue.
