AZA 1084 SPATULAS

Description

Spatulas, essential laboratory tools, are used for accurate transferring, mixing, and scraping of chemical and biological samples. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of laboratory workflows, they support precise handling of materials in research, analytical, pharmaceutical, and educational settings.

At Azalab, we offer a variety of lab spatulas made from stainless steel, polypropylene (PP), and PTFE, tailored to suit different substances and workflows. These tools simplify handling tasks such as transferring powdered reagents, mixing small quantities of chemicals, or scraping residues from beakers and slides.

Stainless steel spatulas are the preferred choice in many labs due to their strength, chemical resistance, and ability to be sterilized repeatedly via autoclaving. They are resistant to rust and deformation, making them ideal for long-term use with aggressive reagents or hot materials.

On the other hand, polypropylene spatulas are lightweight, cost-effective, and chemically inert. These tools are suitable for one-time use or disposable workflows, especially in environments sensitive to contamination. Their resistance to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents makes them safe for a wide range of sample types.

The product line includes multiple configurations:

• Flat-ended for even scraping or spreading

• Spoon-shaped for scooping powders and pastes

• Double-ended for flexibility in multi-step procedures

• Micro-tip options for confined spaces like vials or test tubes

All materials used are smooth-surfaced and easy to clean, reducing the chance of residue retention or cross-contamination. The spatulas range in size from 120 mm to 250 mm, allowing users to choose based on container size or application type.

For labs requiring compliance with international standards, our stainless steel variants meet ASTM A240 specifications for corrosion resistance and finish, while plastic options follow ISO 8655 guidelines for lab consumables.

Spatulas are widely used in industries such as:

• Chemical and petrochemical analysis

• Pharmaceutical quality control

• Food and beverage testing

• Environmental monitoring

• Academic research and teaching

These tools play a crucial role in maintaining the accuracy of sample weights, mixing ratios, and preparation quality. The right spatula ensures proper technique when working with hygroscopic powders, viscous gels, or sensitive reagents.

Refer to ISO 8655 guidelines for information on safe lab tool usage, and consult ASTM A240 material standards for stainless steel specifications used in our spatulas.

Whether you’re working in a sterile pharmaceutical environment or a busy educational lab, Azalab’s precision spatulas offer the reliability and performance professionals expect.
