Hi all
I'm looking to get hold of a small 'reagent spatula', like the thing we
used to use in school Chemistry in the seventies to get ... Copper Sulphate
etc. into test tubes.

Probably made of Stainless Steel, a bit like this:

http://www.coleparmer.co.uk/catalog/...sp?sku=0636916

but not at £8 each (£24 for three)!

It doesn't have to be 'medical grade'. Any suggestions?

Thanks

"Nuffield pattern spatula" turns up the sort of cheapo ones we used,
most educational supplier websites seem reluctant to give pricing, PoA
still seems to apply, but eBay has some ...

How about a pickle spoon? I have one, just like that, for getting
pickled onions out of the bottom of the jar :-)

See he
http://www.shopwiki.co.uk/Spatula-%7...oducts/Spatula

Garden centres often have a double-ended spatula (often called a
"widger" for some reason) for transplanting small seedlings, You could
use one of those.

you might be able to pick up a marrow spoon at a car/boot antiques fair

they are about the right shape.(apparently fishermen use something
similar so you could also try there, I just googled marrow spoon and
found that out.

If it doesn't need to be metal you can get a box of 1,000 wooden
coffee stirrers for a few pounds - for example :-

or

also useful for glue spreading and epoxy mixing.

Rapidonline sell them at 5 for £1.12 + vat , but there is a delivery
charge of £4.95 + vat for order under £30. But it's not a site that is
hard to find 'handy things' on :-)

Or ebay, £1.75 + postage for 1

Brilliant, thanks. 'Nuffield Pattern' is the key, although I don't know why
my eBay search of 'spatula Stainless Steel' didn't get me there. And I did
Nuffield Science, so that works ;-)

I may order from he

http://www.richardsonsofleicester.co...ula-d1650.html

rather than eBay - they look a little better quality, their delivery charges
are not extortionate, and they have a few other items that 'might come in
useful' ...

Thanks again
