Probe & Hook Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

The Probe & Hook (Product Code: SLE/EDE/17) is a chrome plated steel dissecting probe with a hook on one end, 6 inches in length. Students use it to lift, separate and hold back soft tissue during practical dissections without cutting it, which is why a probe of this kind is a routine item in school biology lab equipment in India. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for schools, colleges and teacher-training laboratories.

Specifications

Typical Use

During a dissection the shaft is run along the natural divisions between organs to free connective tissue, to follow the course of a blood vessel or nerve, or to point out a structure to the class without damaging it. The hooked end catches a membrane or a flap of skin and draws it aside, so the region underneath stays in view while it is pinned, sketched or labelled. Because it is not a cutting tool, it is a safer first instrument for younger students than a scalpel.

As part of zoology lab equipment in India the probe and hook is usually issued alongside forceps and dissecting pins, and it is just as handy for opening up flowers or other plant material in botany practicals. After each session rinse off tissue and preservative, wash in mild detergent and dry the probe completely before storage; avoiding long soaks in water or harsh disinfectants helps protect the chrome plating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Probe & Hook made of, and how long is it?
It is made of chrome plated steel and measures 6 inches in length, with a hook on one end.

Can it be used to cut tissue?
No. It is meant for lifting, separating and holding tissue aside; make incisions with a scalpel first, then use the probe to open up the structures.

How is the hook used in practice?
Slip the hook under a membrane or organ and draw it gently to one side so the structures beneath are exposed; pin the retracted tissue if it needs to stay in place.

How should it be cleaned and stored?
Wash off tissue and preservative, rinse, and dry thoroughly before storage. Avoid abrasive scrubbing and long soaks, which can wear or dull the plating.
