At Quirumed UK, we offer a professional range of laboratory mortars designed to support accurate sample processing in pharmaceutical, scientific and chemical laboratories. Whether you're grinding soft solids or blending small-volume substances, our mortar and pestle sets are crafted to ensure purity and precision in every procedure.

Porcelain Laboratory Mortars for Soft Substances

Our porcelain mortars are ideal for mixing and crushing low-hardness materials without contamination. Manufactured without internal glazing, they preserve the integrity of the substance and are easy to clean, making them perfect for routine sample preparation in healthcare and educational labs.

Quartz and Agate Mortars for Harder Applications

We also provide quartz laboratory mortars, including agate variants, offering a non-porous surface and superior abrasion resistance. These tools are suitable for high-purity environments where cross-contamination must be avoided, such as analytical chemistry and biomedical research facilities.
