This is the starting point for sampling powders, granules and other bulk solids with Sampling Systems equipment, from the sack, drum or bin to the lab bench. The samplers are grouped by product: free-flowing powders and granules (thieves and slot, pocket and sleeve samplers), cohesive or sticky powders (lances and samplers that scrape product inside), tablets and capsules (multilevel samplers left in the bin) and single-use SteriWare samplers, sterile or non-sterile. All of them are on this page, with the tools and containers around them: PharmaScoops and spatulas in stainless steel or single-use plastic, sampler cases, cleaning brushes and stands, and 304 and 316L stainless drums, pots and containers. Also here: powder funnels and QC status labels; the drums and containers are also in Containers and Drums. Everything here is quoted: request a quote.

Powder and solids sampling FAQ

Free-flowing or cohesive: which sampler?

A free-flowing powder runs into a sampler when it opens, so thieves, slot and pocket samplers fill at the chosen depth and are closed before you withdraw them. A cohesive powder flows poorly and does not run in on its own: lances and cohesive samplers have a scraper beside the slot or pocket, and you rotate the sampler through 360° to push product inside.

Single-use or stainless steel?

A single-use SteriWare sampler needs no cleaning and no cleaning validation, and nothing carries over from one batch to the next; each is individually bagged with full batch traceability. Stainless samplers are reusable but must be cleaned between uses; cleaning brushes and sampler cases are part of the range.

How do I store powder samples?

In stainless steel or GMP plastic containers. The 316L Stainless Containers (1 to 30 L) are airtight once the tri-ferrule lid is clamped and come with a certificate of conformity for the steel grade and finish; Toggle Drums from 2 L are fully welded and mirror polished; Mini-Drums (1 to 15 L) come in 304 or 316L with drop-on lids; White GMP PP Tubs (250 and 500 ml) have a wide neck for powders and creams.

How do I close a sack after sampling?

Sack samplers go in through the side of the sack; an Ultra Adhesive QC label over the hole stops leaks. The Sack Clip closes the top of an open sack with a ratchet and a second positive lock.
