Spatulas & spoons

Stainless steel is durable, easy to clean and suits most powders and solids, for example the 18/10 steel spoon spatula, 180 × 8 mm. For weighing near sensitive balances or magnetic samples, there are non-magnetic versions, such as the non-magnetic spoon spatula, 180 mm. When metal contact must be avoided, for trace metal analysis or with corrosive or sticky substances, choose a PTFE-coated tool like the PTFE-coated spoon spatula, 180 × 8 mm. Pure nickel resists strong alkalis, as with the pure nickel double micro spatula.

For cell culture and microbiology, a sterile single-use tool avoids contamination and cleaning validation. The sterile PP cell spatula, 195 mm is made for harvesting and passaging adherent cells in flasks and dishes. For weighing chemicals, reusable stainless steel or PTFE-coated spatulas are the practical choice: clean them between substances to prevent carry-over, and dry them before the next use. If you sample food, pharmaceutical raw materials or environmental solids under aseptic conditions, ask us about suitable sterile sampling tools: sales@luminixhealth.com.

A spoon spatula combines a small scoop with a flat blade, so you can take powder and level it in one tool; it is the everyday choice for weighing. A double spatula has two working ends, often one flat and one curved, such as the 18/10 steel double micro spatula, 150 × 9 mm. Micro spatulas handle milligram amounts and narrow vials, like the PTFE-coated micro spatula, 150 × 3 mm. A chemical spoon, such as the 18/10 steel chemical spoon, 210 mm, moves larger amounts of granules and coarse solids.

Choose the length by the container you work from. Short spatulas, around 130 mm, give the best control for weighing on a balance, such as the spoon spatula, 130 × 5 mm. For tall or deep bottles and drums, you need a longer tool so your hand stays outside the container, for example the analysis spoon spatula, 235 × 18 mm or the stainless spatula with wooden handle, 365 mm. A wider blade carries more material; a narrow one fits small necks. Keep separate tools for different substances to avoid cross-contamination.

A spatula or spoon transfers a powder without pouring the whole bottle. The blade width and the material, steel or plastic or nickel, decide whether the tool contaminates the sample it touches.

The small tools of the bench are what the hand actually holds: a spatula for a powder, forceps for an object that must stay clean, a brush for a narrow neck, a desiccator when a dried sample must not take up water again. None of these reads a measurement. They keep the measurement possible. The apparatus around them is listed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
