Scoopula is a brand name of a spatula-like scoop utensil used primarily in chemistry lab settings to transfer solids.

General

Scoopulas resemble a tube cut in half horizontally, with one end sharpened and rounded. They are often made of metal, like stainless steel, though plastic versions do exist. Some scoopulas come with a handle.

Availability

Scoopulas can be bought from lab suppliers or online.

DIY scoopula

One type of tool used in jewelry making and repair resembles a scoopula. It is available at Hobby Lobby for 50 cents. Various spoon-like plastic-ware from ice-cream shops may serve well as replacement scoopulas.

Small scoopulas may be made from straws or pipes with L-shaped cuts at their ends.
