MORTAR AND PESTLE (PORCELAIN) AZA1083
Porcelain Mortar and Pestle Sets are essential manual grinding tools used across chemical, pharmaceutical, analytical, and academic laboratories for crushing, grinding, and homogenizing solid substances. AZA1083 by AZALAB is purpose-designed for laboratory-grade performance, combining chemical inertness, mechanical strength, and efficient grinding capability.
Manufactured from high-fired laboratory porcelain, this mortar and pestle set delivers excellent hardness and abrasion resistance while remaining non-reactive with sensitive or aggressive chemicals. The combination of a glazed exterior surface and unglazed grinding interior ensures optimal friction for material breakdown while preventing contamination, staining, or sample absorption.
Description
AZA1083 is engineered for precise manual sample preparation, offering superior control compared to automated grinding equipment. The unglazed interior surface provides the ideal texture for effective size reduction, while the thick-walled construction ensures durability under repeated mechanical force.
Porcelain’s chemically inert nature makes this set suitable for handling acids, alkalis, organic solvents, pharmaceutical ingredients, and food-grade materials without risk of reaction or sample alteration. The ergonomic pestle design allows comfortable handling and consistent pressure application during prolonged use.
Each unit complies with ISO 4791-1:2023, ensuring uniformity in dimensions, capacity, material quality, and laboratory safety performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can this mortar and pestle handle acidic chemicals?
Yes. The porcelain material is resistant to strong acids, alkalis, and many laboratory solvents.
Q2: Is it dishwasher-safe or autoclavable?
Manual cleaning is recommended. Autoclaving is not advised, as repeated high-pressure steam exposure may affect the glaze over time.
Q3: Why are the grinding surfaces unglazed?
Unglazed surfaces increase friction, improving grinding efficiency, while the glazed exterior prevents contamination and simplifies cleaning.
Q4: Is it suitable for pharmaceutical or food laboratories?
Yes. The non-toxic, chemically inert porcelain is safe for pharmaceutical formulation and food testing applications.
Q5: How does porcelain compare to metal or glass alternatives?
Porcelain offers superior chemical resistance compared to metal and greater grinding efficiency and durability than glass, without altering sample chemistry.
