STERILEWARE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about STERILEWARE from 3G Electric.
What capacities are available in the STERILEWARE powder sampler range?
STERILEWARE powder samplers, including the powder sampling thief models, are available in capacities such as 0.17 fl oz (MPN F37874-0005), 0.34 fl oz (F37874-0010), and 0.67 fl oz (F37874-0020). These units feature a 1/2 in handle diameter and are white in color. Additionally, a single-slot powder sampler with 1.75 fl oz capacity (F37875-0970) is offered, made of HDPE with a 1 1/4 in handle diameter. The range allows selection based on the required sample volume and container size. 3G Electric supplies these SKUs globally and can assist in matching capacity to application needs.
What is the difference between a STERILEWARE powder lance and a powder sampler?
STERILEWARE powder lances are designed for transferring and dispensing powders, while powder samplers (such as the powder sampling thief) are intended for extracting representative samples from containers. Lances typically have larger capacities, ranging from 0.75 fl oz to 4 fl oz, and handle diameters from 3/4 in to 1 1/4 in. Samplers often feature a slot or chamber to capture a defined volume, with capacities from 0.17 fl oz to 1.75 fl oz. Both types are made from materials like polypropylene or HDPE and are available in white. The choice depends on whether the task is sampling or transfer. 3G Electric stocks multiple SKUs in both categories.
Are STERILEWARE sampling tools sterile?
The STERILEWARE brand name implies that many products are offered in sterile formats, but sterility is not explicitly stated in the product summaries provided. The tools are manufactured from materials such as polypropylene and HDPE and are described as single-use. For applications requiring sterile sampling, buyers should verify the sterility status of the specific SKU. 3G Electric can provide available documentation and specifications for each item. The white color of the tools aids in visual inspection for contaminants. It is recommended to confirm sterility requirements with 3G Electric before ordering.
What materials are used in STERILEWARE powder lances?
STERILEWARE powder lances are constructed from either polypropylene or HDPE, depending on the model. For example, the 0.75 fl oz and 1.375 fl oz lances (MPNs F36931-0150 and F36931-0250) are made of white polypropylene, while the 2.5 fl oz and 4 fl oz lances (F36974-0420 and F36974-0600) are made of white HDPE. These materials offer chemical resistance and durability suitable for powder handling. The choice between polypropylene and HDPE may depend on compatibility with the specific powder and cleaning requirements. 3G Electric can provide material details for each SKU to assist in selection.
Can 3G Electric supply STERILEWARE products internationally?
Yes, 3G Electric ships STERILEWARE products globally. The company supports international logistics and can provide quotes for orders of any size. Technical buyers can specify the required SKUs, and 3G Electric will coordinate shipping to the destination. The product range includes powder samplers, lances, and spatulas, with multiple capacities and handle diameters. 3G Electric interprets customer specifications to ensure the correct items are supplied. For international orders, lead times and shipping methods can be discussed during the quotation process. 3G Electric's global reach facilitates procurement for facilities in various regions.
What handle diameters are available for STERILEWARE powder sampling thieves?
STERILEWARE powder sampling thieves are available with a 1/2 in handle diameter. This applies to the 0.17 fl oz, 0.34 fl oz, and 0.67 fl oz models (MPNs F37874-0005, F37874-0010, and F37874-0020). The 1/2 in diameter is suitable for sampling from drums, bags, and other containers where a smaller access point is required. For larger volumes, the single-slot powder sampler has a 1 1/4 in handle diameter. The handle diameter affects the ease of insertion and the size of the sampling opening. 3G Electric stocks these items and can advise on the appropriate size for specific container types.
