Description

Description

  • Key performance benefit: Double-ended spatula designed to scoop, scrape, stir, and transfer chemicals and biological materials.
  • Material & construction: Made of 100% polypropylene with a hollow core design to reduce plastic use and minimize heat or cold transfer. Opaque construction provides contrast with colored materials.
  • Risk reduction/compliance benefit: Sterilized using EtO to a SAL of 10⁻⁶ and certified non-toxic with endotoxin limits ≤ 20 EU/device.
  • Protection level: Resistant to dilute acids and bases, and will not shatter after exposure to liquid nitrogen frozen samples.
  • Comfort & usability: Spoon/scraper fits into 15 mL tubes, and scoop fits into 0.5 mL tubes. Hollow core reduces thermal transfer during handling.
  • Safety & compliance assurance: Non-toxic, non-pyrogenic. For lab use only. Not a medical device. US Patent 8,709,362.

FAQs

When should a sterile disposable spatula be used instead of a reusable metal spatula?

A sterile disposable spatula is preferred in workflows where contamination control is critical, such as biological sample handling or pharmaceutical preparation. It eliminates the need for cleaning and re-sterilization, making it ideal for single-use applications where maintaining sterility and reducing the risk of cross-contamination are essential.

How does the double-ended design improve laboratory efficiency?

The double-ended design allows users to perform multiple tasks with a single tool, such as scooping, scraping, and transferring materials. This reduces the need to switch tools during procedures, streamlining workflows and improving efficiency in laboratory environments that require multiple handling steps.

What types of samples are best suited for this spatula?

This spatula is suitable for handling a wide range of materials, including powders, granules, and biological samples. It is commonly used in chemical handling, diagnostic work, and pharmaceutical applications where controlled transfer and manipulation of small sample quantities are necessary.

How does the material design support safe handling of temperature-sensitive samples?

The polypropylene construction with a hollow core helps reduce heat or cold transfer during handling. This can improve user comfort and reduce the risk of temperature-related interference when working with chilled or frozen samples, supporting more controlled manipulation in temperature-sensitive laboratory workflows.

What handling and storage practices help maintain sterility before use?

To preserve sterility, the spatulas should remain in their sealed packaging until use and be handled using appropriate aseptic techniques. Storing them in a clean, controlled environment helps prevent contamination, ensuring they are ready for use in sensitive laboratory procedures requiring sterile tools.
