The disposable V spatula is ideal for powder and harder material sampling. It is commonly used for surface sampling, raw material testing and general goods in testing. The cupped design means it sample a fixed volume. It also stop powder flowing out which frequently happens with traditional open ended spatula designs. Manufactured to the highest standard in a medical cleanroom to ensure cleanliness and supplied with full documentation. Available in 2 widths and 3 lengths to ensure you have the right sampling tool for the job. The narrow versions are ideal if you want to put the sample into the test tube or take a small sample. The longer version is ideal when you want to take more of a cross sectional sample.

Tip - Rayon: Rayon, also known as Viscose, is a processed form of cellulose and has been found to be particularly suitable for the recovery of microorganisms. The texture is similar to that of cotton, but it has none of the fatty acids or other substances that can be inhibitory to fastidious bacteria. It has also been shown to be compatible with many molecular based diagnostic tests. Rayon buds are used on most of our transport swabs.

Traditionally, the bud on the swab has consisted of a spun fibre such as cotton, rayon, polyester or calcium alginate wound round the end of the shaft which would be wood, plastic or wire. In recent years, novel bud materials have been introduced, such as soft cellular polyurethane foam, or flocked fibres which can give improved uptake and release of specimens. Medical Wire have extensive ranges of swabs utilising either spun fibres, cellular foam, or multifilament flock fibres, with something suitable for many applications.
