PTFE Sampler/ladle with Straight & Diagonal Handle

A PTFE ladle is a essential tool crafted from high-purity Polytetrafluoroethylene, designed for safely handling ultra-pure, aggressive, or contamination-sensitive liquids. This chemically inert sampler is ideal for use in semiconductor, photovoltaic, and analytical laboratories where even trace metal leaching is unacceptable. Common configurations, including long handles and various cup sizes, are available customization to meet specific application requirements, such as sampling from deep carboys or electroplating tanks.

Excellent Chemical & Physical Properties:
Extremely strong chemical inertness (the core advantage)
PTFE is known as the “plastic king” and hardly reacts with any known strong acids, bases, oxidants, organic solvents, etc.
Tolerant reagents include aqua regia, hydrofluoric acid (HF), hot concentrated sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, chromic acid, various organic solvents (such as acetone, benzene, alcohols), etc.
This feature ensures that the stored samples are not contaminated by the container and also guarantees that the container itself is not corroded.
Extremely low leaching and adsorption of metal ions
The surface of PTFE is smooth and dense, and it hardly adsorbs trace elements and components in the sample.
The content of self dissolved metal ions is extremely low, which is crucial for trace analysis (such as ICP-MS, ICP-OES, AA, etc.), effectively avoiding background contamination and ensuring the accuracy of analysis results.
Excellent thermal stability
It can usually be used for a long time within the temperature range of -200 ° C to+260 ° C.
Short term tolerance to higher temperatures (such as 300 ° C) makes it suitable for hydrothermal reactions, high-temperature digestion, or high-temperature sample storage.
Excellent non stickiness and surface smoothness
The surface friction coefficient is extremely low, does not adhere to any substances, is easy to clean and pour out viscous reagents, and there will be no residue.
High purity and good electrical insulation
