Applications and Experiments for the Porcelain Mortar and Pestle
Grinding a solid increases its surface area, so it dissolves, reacts or mixes more evenly. The mortar and pestle is therefore used to prepare samples for many practicals, from simple salt analysis to plant extractions, and it appears on most school chemistry lab equipment lists in India.
- Class 6–10 science: powdering chalk, salts or leaves for mixture and separation activities.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: grinding salts before qualitative analysis and preliminary tests.
- Class 11–12 biology: crushing leaves to extract pigments for paper chromatography.
- Pharmacy and B.Sc. labs: triturating and blending powders in preparation practicals.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit comprises one white porcelain mortar, 80 mm in diameter, together with its porcelain pestle. Spatulas, weighing bottles and the substances to be ground are separate items that can be added on request.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A single mortar and pestle can be quoted just as readily as a set for every student pair in a laboratory. The quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and other porcelain items can be combined on it.
