Stainless Steel Handled Lab Scoops

Available in two distinct sizes to cover both precision benchtop work and bulk material processing.

Key Functional Benefits:

• Contamination Control: Unlike plastic scoops that can harbor static or scratched-in residues, the stainless steel surface is easy to decontaminate and does not retain odors or colors from previous materials.
• Ergonomic Design: Each scoop features a contoured handle that provides excellent leverage and control, even when handling heavy, dense materials in the 52 oz. large-capacity model.
• Thermal Stability: Safely used for sampling materials in high-heat or cryogenic environments where plastic alternatives would melt or become brittle.
• Autoclave Compatible: These scoops can be fully sterilized in an autoclave, making them suitable for aseptic transfers in microbiology and pharmaceutical applications.

Laboratory Maintenance Tips:

• Cross-Contamination: To maintain analytical integrity, always use dedicated scoops for specific high-purity chemicals or ensure the scoop is thoroughly cleaned and dried between different materials.
• Storage: When not in use, store scoops in a dry environment. While stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, prolonged contact with moisture and salt residues can lead to surface spotting.
• Cleaning: For routine cleaning, use a standard laboratory detergent. For sticky residues, the stainless steel can safely handle more aggressive solvents like Acetone or Ethanol without damage.
