Uses

• Sample Transfer: They are used to transfer small amounts of powders, granules, or solid samples from one container to another without contamination.
• Mixing: Plastic spatulas can mix small quantities of chemicals or reagents, ensuring even distribution and consistency.
• Spreading: They are useful for spreading substances evenly on surfaces, such as agar plates in microbiology.
• Scraping: Plastic spatulas can scrape materials off surfaces, such as removing residual samples from beakers or petri dishes.
• Weighing: They can be used to hold solid samples for weighing on analytical balances, providing a clean surface that avoids contamination.
• Applying: In some experiments, spatulas may be used to apply thin layers of materials, such as coatings or adhesives.
• Sample Preparation: They are used in sample preparation processes, such as homogenizing or preparing mixtures.
• Chemical Compatibility: Since they are made of plastic, they are often resistant to many chemicals, making them suitable for various applications.
