Labzee Lined Agate Vacuum Ball Mill Jars are premium grinding containers designed for ultra-pure milling under vacuum or inert atmospheres. These jars feature a high-strength outer shell—typically stainless steel lined with natural agate, a microcrystalline form of quartz known for its exceptional hardness and chemical inertness. The agate lining ensures minimal contamination, excellent wear resistance, and preservation of sample purity, making it ideal for trace-level analytical work. Designed for vertical planetary motion, the jar includes a leak-proof sealing system to maintain vacuum conditions during operation. Our Lined Agate Vacuum Ball Mill Jars are widely used in geochemical analysis, nanomaterial synthesis, high-purity metal oxide grinding, and environmental sample preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
1: Why use an agate-lined jar for vacuum grinding?
Agate is chemically inert, extremely hard, and non-metallic, making it ideal for high-purity milling without introducing trace contamination-even under vacuum conditions.
2: Can this jar be used for wet milling?
Yes, the agate lining is non-porous and resistant to most solvents. Combined with vacuum sealing, it supports both wet and dry grinding for sensitive samples.
3: What type of samples is this jar best suited for?
It is ideal for minerals, rare earths, catalysts, ceramics, and any application where trace metal contamination must be avoided during analysis or synthesis.
4: Is agate fragile compared to metal jars?
While highly wear-resistant, agate is brittle and should be handled carefully. Avoid heavy impacts or using metallic media, which could damage the lining.
5: How do I maintain the jar post-milling?
Clean the inner surface with a soft cloth and mild lab detergent. Avoid abrasive brushes or thermal shock, which could cause cracks in the agate lining.
