PR1MA™ Signature Double-Sided Pestles

Sterile, Disposable Tool for Cell Prep and Sample Homogenization.

The PR1MA™ Signature Double-Sided Pestle is a high-performance, disposable laboratory tool designed to streamline sample preparation, cell homogenization, and resuspension tasks. Made from durable polypropylene, this 145 mm pestle features a dual-ended design for enhanced versatility in biological workflows.

The conical end is perfect for grinding soft biological tissues, homogenizing cells, and resuspending pellets in 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tubes.

The convex end (11 mm diameter) with a dimpled surface is optimized for cell manipulation within disposable strainers, improving cell sorting, flow cytometry prep, and overall cell viability.

Ideal for researchers working in cell biology, immunology, and molecular biology, this pestle is gamma-sterilized, RNase/DNase-free, and individually wrapped for contamination-free use.

The Argos Pellet Mixer is a lightweight battery powered hand held homogenizer that can be used with disposable pestles, mixers and micro tubes. Cell tissue and pellets are completely homogenized within seconds by means of a high speed vortexing action. Greatly reduces hand fatigue. Comes complete with 2 "AA" batteries and Pestle/Mixer adapter.
