Dissecting Needle Plastic Handle
The Dissecting Needle Plastic Handle (Product Code: SLE/EDE/19) combines a 40mm stainless steel needle with a 100mm plastic handle. It is the fine-point tool students reach for when material has to be teased apart, spread out on a slide or lifted with precision, and it is a basic piece of biology lab equipment in India for both zoology and botany practicals. The instrument is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use
Much of this needle's work happens at the microscope stage rather than on the dissecting tray. Students use it to tease plant or animal tissue into thin strands in a drop of water or stain, to spread cells evenly before a cover slip goes on, and to lower the cover slip at an angle so that air bubbles are pushed out. On the tray it lifts fine membranes and separates muscle fibres or nerve threads that forceps would crush.
Because it turns up in almost every mounting exercise, the needle is a natural part of a temporary slides biology kit for school and college labs. The plastic handle keeps the tool light in the hand; for the same reason it should not be held in or near a burner flame. Wipe the needle clean after each use, dry it, and store it with the point protected so it stays straight and sharp.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long are the needle and handle?
The stainless steel needle is 40mm long and the plastic handle is 100mm long.
Can the needle be sterilised in a flame?
Flaming is not recommended, because heat can damage the plastic handle. Clean the needle with water or a suitable laboratory disinfectant and dry it instead.
How is it used when mounting a slide?
Place the edge of the cover slip on the slide beside the specimen, support it with the needle, and lower it slowly so the liquid spreads without trapping air bubbles.
Is the needle replaceable if it bends?
Replacement needle details are not given in the product listing; please contact us and we will advise on spares or a replacement instrument.
How many needles come in one order unit?
The listing describes a single needle with plastic handle. Tell us how many you need for a class and we will quote the quantity accordingly.
