Dounce Pestles A vs B whats the difference? - (May/04/2006 )

Hi
I have two different types of pestle for my dounce homogenizer (Bellco), one labeled A and one is B. I know that one is tighter fitting, but does anyone know which one is which?
Cheers!

"A" is the looser fitting, "B" the tighter fitting.

They should be used in that order. I normally lyse my cells 5-10x with looser fitting A, followed by 5-10x with tighter fitting
\B.
