To prevent contaminating samples, these samplers are sterilized by gamma irradiation and individually bagged. Throw them away after you collect and transfer liquid to avoid cross contamination.

Insert Style A samplers into the liquid and seal the top opening with your thumb to collect a sample—like a straw.

The syringe-like design of Style B samplers lets you extract liquid without manually creating a vacuum.

Sterilized so they won’t contaminate your samples or lines, these liquid samplers are often used in food processing, pharmaceutical, and biotech applications. Unlike traditional sampling methods such as ladles and cups, they don’t expose samples to the surrounding environment. These samplers use gravity to draw out liquid through the needle directly into the bag. The needle has a luer lock connection, so it’s easy to remove the needle after you take the sample. You can also swap the needle out beforehand if your application needs a different kind.

These bags are best for taking large samples. They’re ISO 10993 compliant, so they’re approved for use in medical devices. They meet USP Class VI, meaning they’re made of plastic that’s been tested to the highest standards to reduce the risk of leaching into biological samples. Manufactured free of contaminants and allergens, they are BPA- and latex-free. They’re also TSE/BSE compliant, so they’ve never come into contact with any animal products.

These liquid samplers are typically used with sampling tube fittings.

Pump the handle to draw liquid out of a tank or drum through a hose into sample bottles. Only the hose and hose weight come into contact with the liquid, reducing the possibility of cross contamination.

Collect and measure buildup from the bottom of oil tanks, septic tanks, wastewater lagoons, and other areas. Unlike other samplers that only hold liquids, these samplers can draw in solids, too. They help you monitor sludge, which is important for meeting environmental regulations for sewage. Not for use with ethanol or ethanol-blended fuel.

Made of strong plastic, these samplers are rigid enough to push through tough layers of sludge to collect a complete sample. A valve lets in liquids and solids, then blocks them from going out. Samplers are clear and marked with 1-ft. graduations, so you can view and measure what’s inside. Press down on the valve pin to empty.

These samplers consist of three hollow 5-ft. tubes. Screw together as many as you need to match the depth of your tank. Since they’re detachable, they’re easy to transport. Add extensions (sold separately) to make samplers longer.

Cellulose samplers are lighter in weight than polycarbonate and work for most applications. Polycarbonate samplers are more durable and chemical resistant than cellulose. They're also treated to protect against damage from UV rays, so they won’t wear down if you use them outdoors on long jobs.

Pick a handle, snap on a container, and you’re ready to scoop samples.

Bottles come with a lid to seal your sample.

Beakers with a pour spout make it easy to transfer your sample.

Polypropylene containers are good for general use. They have a joint that pivots up to 90° to help you scoop and prevent your sample from spilling.

Cleaned and individually bagged, these dippers reduce the risk of cross-contaminating samples. Use them to scoop and transfer liquid, then dispose of them when done. The hook end lets you stage them on the side of your tank or vessel, so they’re there when you need them. Thread on the lid to seal your sample and snap off the handle to use these dippers as containers.

Collect and transfer acids, solvents, and other harsh chemicals. The bowl and handle on these dippers are PTFE, so they resist chemicals better than standard plastic dippers. For added durability, the handle has a stainless steel core. The threaded design lets you detach the bowl from the handle for easy cleaning and storage. To make the dipper longer, thread together as many extension handles (sold separately) as you need to reach your desired length.

Scoop up to a cup of ingredients for your food processing line. These cups have metal and chemical additives that set off metal detectors and show on X-ray machines. This helps you meet Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs. Bright blue, they're also easy to spot if they break or fall in your line. All are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Gather small amounts of sample material. With a flat edge, these spoons are easy to level off for sampling the same capacity each time. Each set includes four spoon sizes. These spoons are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Note: Capacities are approximate.

Measure ingredients for your food processing line. To help you comply with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, these spoons contain metal and chemical additives that make them set off metal detectors and show up on X-ray machines. They’re also bright blue, so workers can easily spot broken pieces that fall into your line. Made of polypropylene, they’re lighter than metal spoons and won’t scratch surfaces. These spoons are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

To prevent contamination when measuring powders and liquids, these spoons are sterilized and individually bagged. Each bag comes marked with a lot number. Level them off for an accurate measurement. Discard after use.

Measuring spoons with a round bottom don’t have corners or seams where material can get stuck.

Measuring spoons with a flat bottom rest on surfaces without tipping over, so they can be used as weigh boats on a scale.

Scoop up small amounts of sample material. These spoons have a flat edge, which lets you level them off to the same capacity each time. They’re FDA compliant for direct contact with food.

Note: Capacities are approximate.

Sterilized then individually packaged in bags, these spoons won’t contaminate your work. Each bag is marked with a lot number. Toss the spoons out after you stir or collect your samples.

Style A have the portion size marked on the back of the handle. Level them off to sample the same capacity every time. They’re designed to sit flat on a surface without wobbling, so you can use them as weigh boats.

Style C have a bent handle to retrieve samples from tall or deep containers. A narrow bowl makes it easy to reach material in corners and scrape edges.

Note: Capacities are approximate.

Reach into large tanks and vats with these ladles.

Quickly seal your sample for transport—these scoops screw directly into the included bottle to reduce the risk of contamination. They’re cleaned and bagged, so they’re free of particles or residue, and they’re marked with a lot number for traceability. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Made of polystyrene, these scoops are rigid enough to dig out samples of cheese, soil, or thick paste. The rounded bottom fits into corners to scrape out material. Throw them away after one use to help prevent cross contamination.

Reach into beakers and other containers with narrow openings—these spatulas have a blade that is no more than 7/8" wide. Nonmarring to prevent scratches and cracks to your glassware, the blade is also angled to easily scrape corners. A thin, round handle helps you reach all sides of your container. These spatulas are autoclavable, so you can reuse them without the risk of contamination.

Style B have a rigid plastic blade to scrape and spread stubborn material. The blade resists chemicals better than a rubber blade.

Cleaned and bagged in a Class 8 clean room, these spatulas won’t contaminate your samples. They’re also FDA compliant for direct contact with food. Scoop, sort, or spread materials, then toss these spatulas when you’re done. Made of polystyrene, they are firm yet flexible enough to scrape the sides of containers without breaking. The narrow blade fits inside test tubes and other small containers.

Spatulas with a U-shaped blade have raised edges that keep powders and granules from falling as you move them between containers.

Spatulas with a straight blade are often used to scrape and spread pastes or gels. Since they don’t have raised edges, it’s easy to see if you’ve transferred every last speck.

Take liquid samples in sanitary environments—these sampling valves have a hygienic design, so they’re commonly used in breweries and wineries. With a body made of 316 stainless steel and a PTFE plastic seat, they resist the high temperatures and harsh chemicals of clean-in-place (CIP) processes. These valves have an extremely smooth surface, leaving no space for bacteria to grow. Quick-clamp connections, also known as tri-clamp fittings, are easily taken apart for regular cleaning. These valves are self-draining, so previous samples and cleaning chemicals won’t contaminate future samples. Both the seat and the silicone O-ring comply with FDA standards for direct contact with food and beverage.

To take samples, turn the thumb screw to open valves. Hang a bucket for sample collection from the bucket groove. Valves also have a leak detection port that will release a small amount of liquid to let you know when it’s time to replace all the valve seals.

Valves with a bent spout have a tab for connecting carbon dioxide testing devices. They’re often used for carbonated beverages. They shouldn’t be used with liquids that have solids in them, such as the grape skins or seeds in wine, as those can get caught in the outlet.
