LevGo® smartSpatula® Disposable Multipurpose Lab Spatula, Look for The V at the Neck.® (Standard Opaque 17221)

These disposable lab spatulas are amazing! I use them for my DIY skincare hobby, which requires me to mix and scoop/handle very sensitive raw cosmetic active ingredients. These LevGo smart spatulas do just the trick. The long length makes it very easy to hold (so you don't feel like you're using a stubby popsicle stick). Wide mouth spoon end makes uniform stirring easy, skinny pointy end perfect for delicately scooping small amounts of powder. The fact that they're industrial grade ANTI STATIC polypropylene and you receive 300-500 of them is impressive for this price point. Volatile substances (like my cosmetic antioxidants... Vit C ascorbic acid, CoQ10, Resveratrol etc) prohibit me from using any old plastic or metal stirring tool in my craft, as they expose the substance to ions and render them useless. Highly recommend. My only gripes... I wish the interior of the spatula wasn't hollow (looks like a Slurpie straw). Makes using one end for scooping powder/solids and the other end for stirring a liquid not ideal, as the leftover liquid droplets slide down the tube from the wide end and soak whatever I've scooped with the narrow end (when attempting to change sides). I also wish they were a tad sturdier. Easy to stir liquids, but some thick lotions/creams give it trouble. Keep in mind they also aren't pre-sterilized.

I've purchased a couple of these already to use for cytology specimens in my lab. They're the perfect size for scooping out sediment from a 50ml conical centrifuge tube.

fun tools for budding scientist grandkids....

Excellent value, cheapest I could find!
