Uses

• Supporting Specimens: Wooden splints can be used to support specimens during dissection or examination, providing stability.
• Spreading Samples: In microbiology, splints can be used to spread samples evenly on agar plates for culturing microorganisms.
• Holding Objects: They can hold glass slides, Petri dishes, or other labware in place during experiments or while observing samples under a microscope.
• Stirring and Mixing: Wooden splints can serve as stirring sticks for mixing solutions in small containers, especially where metal or plastic might contaminate the samples.
• Transfer Tools: They can be used to transfer small amounts of solid materials, like powders or grains, from one container to another.
• Creating Barriers: In some experiments, wooden splints can act as barriers to control the environment or direct the flow of materials.
• Sample Identification: They can be labeled and used to mark different samples or test locations in an experiment.
• Preventing Contamination: Using wooden splints reduces the risk of contamination from metal or plastic tools that might react with certain chemicals.
