smartSpatula® Disposable Multipurpose Lab Spatula. Look for the V at the Neck.® (Standard Blue 17211)

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 bought a box of these disposable spatulas for one (triple) purpose: To scoop out horseradish for a Bloody Mary, to stir the drink, and, after I snip off the smaller spatula end, as a drinking straw after I serve the drink. My first degree was in chemistry, and I find laboratory equipment and glassware perfect for kitchen and bar. My guests enjoy the experience as well. Fast shipping, adequate packaging, and useful shelf pack.

They're advertised as "single use", which in a lab tools context, usually means individually-wrapped and sterile. They come all together in a big opened bag, not sterile. This isn't very useful. But works well. EDIT: It doesn't work well. The spin side flattens right before the entrance into the pipe, so your product will spill all out the sides instead of going in.

Works. Have to trust the biodegradability. It is nice to get something safe for food. Makes it more versatile. I like the fact they state it is made of virgin pp. I don't like to use recycled product to scoop anything, food or not. They were a little bigger than I visualized, but still a useful tool

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.

Good quality - as described, good price. a regular purchase for the lab.

fun tools for budding scientist grandkids....

the box was damaged and most of the spatuals were spilled out , had to return box for credit
