Product news

Thanks to its special mode of operation, the Fritsch Mortar Grinder Pulverisette 2 is an ideal universal grinder in the laboratory - for analysis, quality control and materials testing as well as for the mixing and homogenization of pastes and creams on a laboratory scale.

Its particularly gentle grinding by friction with almost no thermal load is ideal for the preparation of tablets in galenics. Using liquid nitrogen, it also grinds difficult-to-mill samples with moist, fibrous or elastic structures. The Pulverisette 2 is also ideally suited for mixing solids, liquids or a combination of both. With brief, reliably reproducible grinding and mixing times, it's loss and dust free. The Pulverisette 2 can produce a final fineness of between 10 and 20 μm, with a feed size of 6 to 8 mm and a max. sample quantity of up to 190 ml.

Areas of Application

Pharmacy, foodstuffs, chemistry, mining and metallurgy, geology and mineralogy, glass and ceramics industry, agriculture and forestry.

The Fritsch Advantages:

  • Easy setting and re-adjustment of the pestle pressure on the mortar wall for perfect grinding.
  • The essential downward pestle pressure on the mortar bowl can quickly and easily be exactly adjusted and read off on a scale for reliable reproducibility.
  • The optimized Fritsch scraper kinematics, which are infinitely adjustable on three axes, ensure that the scraper is always perfectly fitted against the inner wall of the mortar bowl and to guide rising material toward the pestle – with manual re-adjustment also during grinding.
  • The large acrylic window and grinding chamber illuminated with long life LEDs to check the grinding process.
  • Simple addition of sample materials, liquids and additives during the grinding process.
  • Sturdy coating of the mortar bowl with high-quality plastic frame – particularly robust, light and with a good grip.

The mortar bowl and pestle of the Pulverisette 2 lock in place securely thanks to their bayonet clamping with just one motion and are just as quickly removed for cleaning. The pestle pressure can also be easily adjusted during grinding.The special Fritsch scraper kinematics ensure that the scraper can be fine-tuned in height, depth and setting angle to the mortar bowl, from the outside, according to your material and application for perfect material feeding.

For Special Applications: Practical Cryogenic Grinding

The Pulverisette 2 is ideally suited for cryogenic grinding, where the material to be ground is embrittled with the addition of liquid nitrogen. In this manner moist, fibrous or elastic samples such as tomatoes, rubber, synthetic resins or plants can be ground without problem in the stainless-steel grinding set.

Mortar bowls and pestles for the Pulverisette 2 are available in 7 different materials for contamination-free sample grinding.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Homogenizers and BlendersHomogenizers and blenders are used to homogenize various types of material, including tissue, cells, plants, food, soil, biological and chemical samples for subsequent analysis. Lab equipment for sample homogenization includes handheld and benchtop homogenizers, bead mill, ultrasonic and multiple sample homogenizers, high shear homogenizers and blenders. Homogenizer bead and probe multipacks are available to avoid cross contamination of samples, as well as cooling systems for homogenizing temperature-sensitive samples. Homogenizers are often used in the first step of extraction of DNA, RNA and proteins from tissue and cell samples. Find the best homogenizers and blenders in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mills, Sieves and PressesMills, sieves and presses are used to break and sort solid materials into smaller particle sizes for further processing such as pellet pressing or analysis. Milling equipment includes grinders, ball mills, cutting mills, jaw crushers, knife mills, beater and planetary mills. Sorting of smaller particulates can be achieved with test sieves and sieve shakers. Final powders can be pressed with hydraulic presses. Milling and pressing solid samples is an important preparation step in X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and diffraction (XRD).
