Forceps (Tweezers) (Product Code: SLE/EDE/08) are 125 mm stainless steel forceps with a fine point, designed for picking up and holding small, delicate material that fingers cannot manage cleanly. Students use them to peel epidermis, lower cover slips, lift thin sections and move seeds or small insects, which makes them a standard item in any temporary slides biology kit. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for schools, colleges and research laboratories.

The classic first practical for these tweezers is the onion peel mount: the fine point grips the thin inner layer of a scale leaf, peels it away in one strip and lays it flat in a drop of water on the slide. The same tips then hold a cover slip at an angle and lower it slowly to keep air bubbles out. In dissection, they lift membranes and small organs, and in ecology or plant biology lab equipment sets they pick up seeds, leaf fragments and minibeasts for closer study.
Hold the forceps like a pen and apply gentle pressure; fine points are for gripping, not for prying or levering, which can spring the tips out of line. Wipe them clean after each use, dry them, and store them so the points are not knocking against other steel instruments in a drawer.

What length and material are these tweezers?
They are 125 mm long and made of stainless steel, with a fine point at the tip.
Should I choose these or the bent version?
Choose these for general picking, peeling and slide work. The bent version has a curved tip that is easier to use when the item sits under or behind other tissue.
Are they suitable for handling cover slips?
Yes. The fine point holds the edge of a cover slip securely so it can be lowered onto a mount at an angle.
How can the fine points be protected?
Avoid dropping them or using them to pry. Store them in a case, rack or separate compartment so the tips do not bend.
Can they be disinfected between classes?
Stainless steel can be wiped or washed and dried between uses. If your lab follows a specific sterilisation routine, check its suitability with us through the contact page.
Can you quote for class and bulk quantities?
Yes. Send the quantity and delivery address, and we will quote for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
