FAQs
What are the dimensions and design specifics of this lab spatula?
This spatula measures 140 mm in length with a shaft diameter of approximately 3.5 mm, making it ideal for accessing extremely small vessels like 0.2 mL tubes. Its micro‑tip design enables precise sample handling in mini‑volumes and fits narrow containers typically found in micro‑prep workflows.
What materials and durability features does it contain?
It’s made of 96 % virgin food‑grade polypropylene plus 4 % antistatic additive (for this micro antistatic version). The polypropylene body is autoclavable, resistant to dilute acids/bases, and will not shatter when exposed to liquid‑nitrogen frozen samples.
What purpose does the antistatic feature serve in this spatula?
The antistatic additive prevents electrostatic charge buildup when handling powders or ultra‑small samples. This helps reduce sample loss or clinging particles—especially important in sensitive labs working with trace amounts, powders, or components prone to static attraction.
What applications and environments is this spatula best suited for?
This micro spatula is perfect for pharmaceutical compounding, micro‑volume dispensing, microbiology and research labs, biotech settings, or any environment requiring precision sample transfer in small containers where contamination‑risk and static interference must be minimized.
How does it support precision and sample safety?
The micro‑tip design enables handling of ultra‑small volumes with minimal waste; the antistatic construction avoids sample adherence due to static; the autoclavable, durable PP ensures reuse if needed while maintaining chemical resistance and sterility support.
