The spatula

Description

A spatula is a tool that looks a little like a very flared spoon. Often made of stainless steel, it can also be in Teflon.

There are different shapes and sizes. They are all multi-purpose: their two ends are of different shapes, making it possible to have two spatulas in one.

Uses

A spatula can collect solids (powder, chips or small pieces). The most suitable size and type of spatula is chosen, depending on the quantity to be sampled.
