Scoops, Spoons, and Spatulas
Tools designed to scrape, manipulate, chop, or transfer materials; products are available in several sizes, material compositions, etc.
Scoops, spoons, and spatulas help with mixing, scraping, and other tasks related to transferring materials and samples from one place to another.
These tools 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 products are typically made of stainless steel, which is resistant to heat and cold, acids, bases, solvents, and other chemicals. Metal products 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 products are also available. They can help eliminate the potential for cross-contamination that may occur with poorly cleaned reusable spatulas. Disposable products are also ideal for performing lyophilization or handling lyophilized products.
Some products 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 Sample-spoon, stainless steel, V2A, 19.69 in. (500 mm), 0.30 oz. (9 ml)
Made of high quality stainless steel 1.4301 (AISI 304), the Sample Spoon is the ideal solution for the reliable removal of small sample quantities in everyday laboratory work. It is ideal for precise work, even in hard-to-reach places.
The specially shaped spoon head ensures that almost every corner of the container can be reached - effectively preventing the sample from slipping. The ergonomically shaped handle with spatula blade fits securely in the hand for comfortable, controlled handling.
The narrow side of the spatula allows you to finely dispense the sample for precise portioning and analytical accuracy.
BURKLE INC Spoon spatula stainless steel, length 7.09 in. (180 mm), 0.14 oz. (4 ml)
The spatula-spoon can be used in many different applications. The double-sided multi-purpose spoon is a spoon on one side and a spatula on the other. This makes it possible to sample and process a variety of media such as powders, granulates, pastes and liquids. The spoon side of the spoon-spatula holds 4 ml (0.14 oz.) or 11 ml (0.37 oz.) respectively.
Manufactured from a single piece of stainless steel, the spoon-spatula has no edges, crevices or undercuts. Because of this, product residue or cleaning agents cannot be deposited and the possibility of cross-contamination or impurities is excluded. That makes the poly-spoon ideal for use in chemistry, the pharmaceutical industry, cosmetics and the food industry.
BURKLE INC PharmaScoop, V4A, 3.38 oz (100 ml) vol., Ø 1.97 in (50 mm), length 3.94 in (100 mm)
This sample scoop PharmaScoop has been developed in order to meet the high requirements of the pharmaceutical industry, such as those contained in the FDA regulations.
Like all samplers for the pharmaceutical industry, they are made of stainless steel AISI 316 without edges, crevices or undercuts in which sample residues could collect and contaminate subsequent samples. The highly polished inner and outer surfaces of the scoop therefore meet all the requirements for GMP compliance in production and sampling.
BURKLE INC PharmaScoop, V4A, 57.48 oz (1700 ml) vol., Ø 5.31 in (135 mm), 9.06 in (230 mm)

BURKLE INC Dosing spoons 0.51 oz. (15 ml), PS, white
Volumetric and dosing spoons can be used to measure small amounts of powder, granulates and liquids exactly and dose them precisely. For precise measuring, excess medium is stripped off the upper edge of the spoon. The content volume is engraved on the handle.
The flat front edge of the volumetric spoon is ideal for picking up medium from the bottom of the container or for getting into the corners of the container, thus allowing for good emptying of small remaining amounts. The flat base makes it possible to set the volumetric spoon down without spilling the content.
The disposable dosing spoon is suitable for use as a sample spoon for taking small sample quantities. Since the plastic volumetric spoon was developed for single use, there is no cleaning and the possibility of cross-contamination and impurities is excluded.
BURKLE INC Sampling spoon curved, l.h., 0.34 oz. (10 ml), Bio-PE, sterile
The sampler made of Green PE is produced in our class 7 (10,000) clean room and individually packaged for disposable use.
Green PE bio-plastic has all the suitable properties of conventional polyethylene but is manufactured from renewable raw materials and can be completely recycled.
The spoon with curved spoon bowl is suitable for a wide range of different media including powders, granulates, pastes and liquids. The angled spoon shape is also good for reaching into the corners of a container. The long handle of the plastic spoon makes it possible to empty residue from large containers easily and can also reach into places that are hard to reach such as jerrycans with narrow necks.
BURKLE INC Sampling spoon curved, l.h., 0.34 oz. (10 ml), PS blue,sterile
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.
