Dissecting T-Pins
Dissecting T-Pins (Product Code: SLE/EDE/10) are 2" long pins made of nickel-plated steel, each with a T head that allows a firm grip when pushing the pin in or pulling it out. A box contains about 100 pins, enough to pin out specimens for a full class on a dissection tray in school labs across India. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, as part of its dissection equipment range.

Typical Use
T-pins anchor a specimen to a wax pan, wax tray or soft dissecting pad so it does not slide while being cut. Pins are usually pushed in at a slant, leaning away from the specimen, so their heads stay clear of the working area; after the first incision, further pins hold the skin or body wall folded back so internal organs are exposed. The cross-bar head spreads the pressure of the thumb, which makes pinning into firm wax easier for students.
At the end of the practical, pull the pins straight out by the head, wash and dry them, and return them to the box. Counting pins out and back in is a simple habit that keeps loose sharps off the floor and benches. Teachers stocking consumables for zoology lab equipment in India often keep a spare box on hand, since pins go missing over a term.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies these pins together with the pans, trays and instruments they are used with, so a school can source a complete dissection bench from one place. More about the company is on the company profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many pins are in a box?
Each box contains about 100 pins. The count is approximate, so please allow for small variation when planning class quantities.
What are the pins made of and how long are they?
They are nickel-plated steel and 2" long, with a T-shaped head.
Which surfaces do they work with?
They are intended for wax pans, wax trays and soft dissecting pads or boards. Very hard surfaces are not suitable for pinning.
Can the pins be reused?
Yes. Wash and dry them after each practical and return them to the box; discard any pin that has bent or lost its point.
Why a T head rather than a round head?
The cross-bar gives the thumb and fingers more to grip, so pins are easier to press into wax and to pull out again without slipping.
Can I order several boxes or ship overseas?
Yes. Tell us the number of boxes and destination through the contact page; we supply buyers in India and international markets.
