Buying advice

When choosing a lab mortar and pestle, consider the material: porcelain is traditional and inexpensive but can chip; marble is heavy and durable; stainless steel is unbreakable and easy to clean. Also consider capacity based on sample sizes, and whether you need a rough or smooth interior. For most lab tasks, a medium-sized porcelain or marble set offers good value.
