Stainless Steel Spatulas, Flat/Bent Ends

Select the specialized end-type and length that best fits your specific sampling or mixing requirements.

Features:

• Specialized Tips: Use the Bent End models to easily reach into the corners of containers or to lift small samples, while the Tapered End is perfect for precision work in micro-centrifuge tubes or narrow-neck vials.
• Trace-Metal Free Handling: Stainless steel construction prevents the contamination often associated with coated or plastic tools, making these suitable for high-purity analytical chemistry.
• Enhanced Durability: Unlike disposable plastic alternatives, these spatulas will not bow or snap when handling dense or compacted materials.
• Easy Maintenance: The smooth, polished finish allows for rapid cleaning with standard solvents or detergents and can withstand repeated sterilization cycles in an autoclave.

Laboratory Usage Insights:

• Static Reduction: Metal spatulas are naturally anti-static. If you find your powders "jumping" or sticking to plastic weighing boats, switching to these stainless steel spatulas can significantly improve weighing accuracy.
• Sample Recovery: The flat-end spatulas are ideal for the quantitative transfer of materials from weighing paper to volumetric flasks, ensuring no sample is left behind.
• Cleaning Tip: To prevent cross-contamination, dedicated spatulas should be used for each reagent. If reuse is necessary, a thorough rinse with deionized water followed by an Ethanol wipe is recommended.
