Glass Weighing Scoops with Funnel Tip

A weighing scoop holds a measured amount of a powder or granular solid while it is weighed and then helps pour it cleanly into a flask or bottle. Making the scoop from glass, with a funnelled tip, solves problems that plastic scoops can cause: glass is chemically inert, it can be cleaned and dried in an oven, and it does not build up the static charge that makes fine powders cling and scatter.

The funnel tip channels the solid into a narrow neck without spilling, which matters when transferring expensive, reactive or hazardous powders accurately.

Weighing out powders and granules, transferring solids into narrow-necked vessels, handling reactive or sensitive solids, catalyst and reagent handling, and sample preparation, in analytical, QC, pharma, food and teaching labs.

An open glass scoop with a funnelled pouring tip, in borosilicate (chemical and thermal resistance, oven-dryable) or laboratory soda-lime. The inert glass surface avoids reaction with reactive powders and reduces static cling compared with plastic. Sizes range from small analytical scoops to larger ones for bulk solids.

Clean and dry the scoop (borosilicate can be oven-dried) before weighing, and handle it without contaminating the powder. The funnel tip is used to direct the solid into a narrow neck; tap gently to release clinging powder. Dedicate scoops to avoid cross-contamination between reactive reagents.

Formed from glass into the open scoop shape with a drawn or shaped funnel tip, then annealed. Borosilicate versions use a low-expansion melt for oven-drying. A smooth interior (so powder releases cleanly) and a well-formed pouring tip are the key checks.
