Frequently Asked Questions
Are these dispensing spoons sterile?
No — they are supplied non-sterile in 1000/Bag packaging, which is standard for powder dispensing and solid reagent handling applications that do not require a sterile article.
What makes the serrated tip useful compared to a smooth-edge spoon?
The serrated tip cuts through compacted or caked powders, allowing controlled portion removal without disturbing the surrounding material — particularly valuable when dispensing from bulk reagent containers into individual vials or weighing boats.
Will the slim 3" profile fit standard microcentrifuge tubes and vials?
The slim-profile geometry is designed to fit standard vial and tube openings for direct sample transfer; however, verify the opening diameter of your specific container before use to ensure a proper fit without spillage.
Are these spoons lot-traced for regulated laboratory use?
Yes — each bag is lot-numbered and date-coded, supporting full documentation requirements for CAP-, CLIA-, and ISO 15189-accredited laboratories.
