Cell Scraper and Spatulas

Scrapers and spatulas are indispensable tools in laboratories, enabling you to work precisely with chemicals and other materials,

and are especially used extensively in microbiological work. The selection of suitable scrapers and spatulas that we have prepared in the EPRO store

should take into account the specific nature of the work carried out in a particular laboratory, the materials used in the manufacture of the tools,

as well as compliance with safety standards. Thanks to the diverse range available in EPRO store,

Researchers can be sure that they are choosing high quality tools that meet safety standards.

Scrapers in the laboratory

Laboratory scrapers are tools used to scrape or extract substances from surfaces.

They can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and their choice depends on the specific application in the laboratory.

Scrapers consist of an elongated handle, which provides a firm grip even when wearing gloves, and a blade, which can vary in width.

The blades, depending on the manufacturer, can be more or less flexible, they can also rotate in different directions.

The design of the scraper blade supports precise work in a variety of laboratory vessels, while the handle reduces the risk of dropping the scraper

and unwanted contact with the material, which could lead to contamination.

Basic activities where scrapers might come useful:

Removal of deposits and contaminants: scrapers are commonly used to precisely remove deposits, contaminants or chemical residues from the surface of various materials.

Scrapers are particularly useful during such investigations where surface cleanliness is crucial.

Sampling: scrapers allow precise sampling of substances from a variety of sources.

In the case of solid substances, scrapers help to accurately measure the amount needed for analysis.

Preparing surfaces for experiments: before conducting experiments, it is sometimes necessary to prepare surfaces.

Scrapers are used to spread substances evenly, create layers or apply thin layers of substances to substrates.

The scrapers can come in a sterile version, in which case they are individually packaged and contain no pyrogens/endotoxins and are non-cytotoxic.  

Scrapers are mainly intended for easy and complete harvesting of adherent cells or used for working with cell cultures.

Scrapers can be found in three sizes: S, M and L.

Laboratory spatulas

Spatulas are small tools used in laboratories for a variety of purposes, such as mixing, transferring samples or picking up chemicals.

They are usually made of materials that are resistant to chemical reactions, such as glass, metal or plastic.

Laboratory spatulas usually have two ends: one end in the form of a spatula and the other end in the form of a long, thin shank.

This makes them versatile and useful for a variety of laboratory procedures. There are also spatulas that have a spatula end on one side

and a flat spoon end on the other, which will also find many uses during your tests.

In everyday laboratory work the spatulas can be used as follows:

Handling and mixing substances: spatulas are used for handling and mixing chemical substances .

Their shape enables small quantities of substances to be measured and transferred precisely.

Preparation of test tubes and samples: The spatulas are also suitable for filling test tubes with substances, making mixtures or preparing samples for analysis.

Measuring and dosing: the spatulas enable the precise dosage of substances , which is essential for laboratory experiments.

The specially shaped spatula blade with a sharp edge makes it easier to work with material in culture bottles with opening lids or foil and in large Petri dishes.

The protuberances on the handle of some manufacturers' laboratory spatulas ensure a secure grip and individually packaged spatulas guarantee sterility.
