Seekers
Seekers (Product Code: SLE/EDE/28) are compact, plain-pattern stainless steel dissecting tools with a 35mm blunt-ended needle and a total length of 70mm including the handle. Where a sharp needle would pierce, a seeker slides along vessels, nerves and ducts to follow their path and separate them from surrounding tissue. They are a small but important part of zoology lab equipment in India and are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Typical Use
The blunt end is the whole point of a seeker. Once a specimen has been opened, students run the seeker gently under a blood vessel or nerve and lift it slightly, which shows where it branches and what it connects to without cutting or tearing it. The short 70mm overall length gives close control for small specimens and fine work, including work under a hand lens or dissecting microscope.
Teachers often introduce the seeker before the scalpel, because it lets students explore anatomy safely and builds careful technique. Within a school biology lab equipment set, seekers are typically issued alongside forceps and pins. Clean them after each use, dry them straight away, and store them with other fine instruments rather than loose in a drawer where the short needle can be bent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a seeker and a dissecting needle?
A seeker has a blunt end for tracing and lifting structures without piercing them, whereas a dissecting needle has a sharp point for teasing and picking.
How long is the seeker?
The needle is 35mm and the total length, including the handle, is 70mm.
What material is used?
Stainless steel, in a plain pattern.
Are seekers sold singly or in packs?
The pack quantity is not stated in the listing; contact us with the number you need and we will confirm how they are supplied.
How should seekers be stored?
Dry them after cleaning and keep them in a case or tray with other fine instruments so the short needle is not bent.
Can I get a combined quote with other dissection tools?
Yes. List code SLE/EDE/28 with any other items and quantities, plus your delivery location in India or abroad, and we will send one quotation.
