Spatula (Plus Other Compounding/Mixing Equipment)

Laboratory spatulas are a type of laboratory equipment commonly used for transferring, mixing, and spreading small amounts of chemicals, powders, and liquids. They are typically made of stainless steel, but can also be made of plastic or other materials depending on their intended use.

Laboratory spatulas come in various shapes and sizes, but the most common types are the flat spatula and the spoon spatula. The flat spatula has a thin, flat end that is used for scraping and transferring small amounts of powders or solids. The spoon spatula has a rounded spoon end on one side and a flat spatula end on the other, which allows for easy mixing and transfer of both powders and liquids.
