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.

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.

Scoop, stir, and serve with these spoons. Made of stainless steel, they’re easy to clean and sanitize.

Round-bottom spoons work well for most jobs. They're shaped to get into corners and scrape along the sides of containers. Flat-bottom spoons measure the same volume every time. They stay stable on surfaces when you set them down or use them as weigh boats.

Spoons with a plastic handle are insulated to protect your hand from hot and cold contents. Spoons with a colored handle let you assign colors to specific tasks for quick identification.

Spoons that meet NSF/ANSI 2 sanitary standards are safe to use in food-processing environments.

Spoons with a stop notch have a bump under the handle that prevents them from slipping into containers.

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.

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.

Note: Capacities are approximate.

Measure small amounts of your material or ingredients. All spoons are stainless steel, so they’re easy to clean and sanitize.

Spoons with a long handle can reach over a foot to get to the bottom of large containers and bulk material sacks.

Flat-bottom spoons rest on surfaces without tipping over. You can use them as weigh boats.

Spoons that meet NSF/ANSI 2 adhere to sanitary standards for food-processing environments.

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.

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.

Collect, scrape, spread, and transfer small quantities of material—all with a single tool.

U-shaped spatulas have raised edges, so you can transfer powders and granules between containers without losing material. Rounded spatulas are ideal for accessing edges and corners. Use tapered spatulas to scrape material out of tight spots. Straight spatulas offer the largest surface area to scrape and spread materials. You can also use them to cut or divide a sample.

Stainless steel spoons and spatulas can withstand high temperatures. They resist corrosion and chemicals—plus they’re easy to clean. PTFE-coated stainless steel spatulas are nonstick—liquid and powder slide easily off them. The coating meets FDA requirements for use in direct food contact applications.

A thumbwheel on these spatulas creates small vibrations to dispense tiny amounts of liquids or powder. This makes them a great choice to transfer material bit by bit into a weighing dish. Made from stainless steel, these spatulas are corrosion resistant for use with chemicals, as well as easy to clean and sanitize.

Spatulas with a U-shaped blade can fit into narrow openings, such as small bottles. Their raised edges keep samples from falling over the sides of the blade. Instead, samples will funnel down the narrow tip, giving you the greatest control over how much is dispensed.

Spatulas with a curved blade have a slight curve at the tip to keep samples from falling off the end in large quantities. These spatulas lack edges, so they are a great choice when you want to dispense every last speck.

PTFE-coated spatulas let liquid and powder slide easily off the blade. The coating meets FDA requirements for use in direct food contact applications.

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.
