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 Dosing spoons 0.85 oz. (25 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
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.
World Precision Instrument Wecker Spatula, 14cm, 3mm wide blade
A Wecker Spatula is a surgical instrument designed for ophthalmology to lift, separate, dissect or manipulate delicate tissues of the eye like the conjunctiva or cornea. Named after the German ophthalmologist Professor Ernst Wecker, the Wecker Spatula has a fine, narrow blade. Our Wecker Spatula is 14 cm (5.5") long and has a solid square handle for a secure grip. It comes with either a 2 mm or 3 mm wide, flat blade with a rounded tip. One is made of surgical grade stainless steel, and the other is manufactured from premium German steel. Both can be sterilized with a chemical sterilant or by autoclaving. Always clean your surgical instruments promptly after use to ensure they last a long time.
