Laboratory Spatulas
Tools designed to scrape, manipulate, chop, or transfer materials; products are available in several sizes, material compositions, etc.
Laboratory spatulas are utensils that help with mixing, scraping, and other tasks related to transferring materials and samples from one place to another.
Commonly, spatulas are used to transfer samples or chemicals from their original containers to weighing paper, weighing boats, weighing bottles, weighing funnels, or other vessels or containers for weighing.
Reusable spatulas are typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant to heat and cold, acids, bases, solvents, and other chemicals. Metal spatulas may also have permanent or removable wooden or polymer handles and may also be coated in PTFE or plastic for greater non-reactivity. Types of stainless steel spatulas include:
- Microspatulas: Thin, pointed ends help to transfer materials to small tubes or microplates
- Trough-shaped spatulas: Usually have one rounded and one pointed end; can be used to dislodge or loosen materials in a container
- Double-ended spatulas: May have ends of equal or slightly different sizes and shapes
- One flat and one bent end
- One rounded and one tapered end
- One rounded and one scoop or spoon-shaped end
Disposable plastic and paper spatulas are also available. Disposable spatulas can help eliminate the potential for cross-contamination that may occur with poorly cleaned reusable spatulas. Disposable plastic spatulas are also ideal for performing lyophilization or handling lyophilized products.
Sterile sampling spatulas have a V-shape and a pointed end. These are used to pierce paper or plastic wrapping to collect samples of a product or food material for pre-production or post-production quality control testing.
BURKLE INC Spatula for foodstuffs blue
The SteriPlast spatula for foodstuffs made of polystyrene is produced in class 7 clean room (10 000) individually packaged for disposable use and then sterilized by gamma rays As a result of the long ergonomically-shaped stable handle and a sharp blade it is possible to even penetrate directly into containers such as paper or plastic sacks The spatula for foodstuffs is ideal for sampling powders granulates and pastes The shade of blue that is used does not occur in a natural form in foodstuffs Because of this blue products or parts of them can be quickly found and easily identified in a visual check if they are ever mixed into production The use of blue tools thus helps to meet the requirements of the HACCP hazard analysis and assessment in reference to foreign objects This is an important criterion especially in food processing and production and in the animal feed and pharmaceutical industry
