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 maintaining healthy heating systems and meeting environmental regulations for sewage. Not for use with ethanol or ethanol-blended fuel.

Made of a 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.

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.

Store flat, then fold the sides up to make a spoon. Made of sturdy paper like a coffee cup, these spoons can cut through gels, pastes, and other soft materials. Discard these spoons after use to avoid cross-contamination. They’re compostable and can be incinerated.

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.

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.

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 A have a rubber blade that flexes to scrape around curves. The blade does not resist chemicals as well as a plastic blade. These spatulas also have a removable handle that you can use as a stirring rod. Made of glass, it’s easy to clean and sturdier than a plastic handle.

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.
