Dissecting Board
Dissecting Board (Product Code: SLE/EDE/01) is a soft wood board with raised edges on which specimens are pinned out for dissection. The soft wood lets dissecting pins be pressed in easily by hand alone, with no hammer or tool, so students can fix and re-fix a specimen quickly as the dissection progresses. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for school and college biology and zoology practicals, and pairs naturally with any dissection kit a school in India already uses.

| Suitable for | Biology and zoology dissection practicals in schools and colleges |
Typical Use
The board provides a firm, pin-friendly working surface for dissecting preserved specimens and for pinning out plant material or insects for study. Students lay the specimen on the board, fix it at the corners with pins pushed in by hand, and then open and pin back the tissue layer by layer so that each structure stays exposed while it is drawn or identified. The raised edges help keep fluids and small pieces of tissue on the board rather than on the bench.
For a class practical, set out one board per pair of students with a dissection set, a supply of pins and a dissecting needle. After use, remove all pins, wipe the board down, and let it dry fully before storage so the wood stays in good condition. Boards like this are a basic item on most lists of zoology lab equipment in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the board made of?
Soft wood, chosen so that dissecting pins can be pushed in by hand.
Do I need a hammer to fix pins?
No. Pins can be pressed in easily with the hand only.
What are the board’s dimensions?
Size is not given in our current product description. Please contact us for the measurements before ordering.
Are pins or instruments included?
The description covers the board itself. Pins and instruments are listed separately, such as Dissecting T-Pins and Dissecting Set, Student above.
Why does it have raised edges?
The raised edges help contain fluids and small pieces of tissue during dissection, keeping the bench cleaner.
How should the board be cleaned?
Take out all pins, wipe the surface with a damp cloth, and allow it to dry completely; avoid soaking the wood.
Can you supply boards for a whole laboratory?
Yes. Schools and colleges regularly order class quantities; tell us the number of boards and your delivery location.
