Teasing Needle (Probe) (Product Code: SLE/EZ/20) is a stainless steel needle with a plastic handle used to tease apart tissue, spread specimens on slides and probe structures during dissection in biology practicals. School and college students use it for slide preparation and animal or plant dissections, and it is sold individually, so labs can buy exactly the number of workstations they need. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Teasing means gently pulling a tissue apart into fine strands so its cells or fibres can be seen under the microscope, as in a muscle-fibre or root-tip preparation. The same needle spreads an onion peel flat, pushes air bubbles out from under a cover slip, and lowers the slip slowly onto a drop of stain. In dissection it acts as a probe for lifting nerves and vessels or tracing a structure without cutting it.
Stainless steel stands up to repeated contact with water and stains, and the plastic handle gives a light, steady grip for fine work. Wipe the needle clean and dry after each class, push the point into a cork for storage, and count needles out and back in at the end of the lesson. Teasing needles belong in every dissection kit used in school labs in India, alongside forceps, scissors and a scalpel.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of this teasing needle. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied factory-direct — not through a trader — to schools, colleges, dissection-kit assemblers, dealers and importers. Replacement needles for existing kits and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer, so ask us. Visit the company profile for background.

What is the Teasing Needle (Probe) made of?
The Teasing Needle (Probe) has a stainless steel needle fitted in a plastic handle. Stainless steel resists rust after contact with water and stains, and the plastic handle is light and easy to clean between practical classes.
Is the Teasing Needle (Probe) sold singly or in packs?
The Teasing Needle (Probe) is sold in eaches, meaning individually. Schools can therefore order the exact number required for their workstations or to replace missing needles in existing dissection kits.
What is the difference between teasing and dissecting with the Teasing Needle (Probe)?
Teasing with the Teasing Needle (Probe) separates tissue into fine strands for microscope viewing, while in dissection the needle is used as a probe to lift and trace structures without cutting them. The same tool serves both tasks.
How should the Teasing Needle (Probe) be cleaned and stored?
After use, rinse the Teasing Needle (Probe), wipe it dry and, if your lab practice requires, wipe the tip with alcohol. Store it with the point pushed into a cork or in a kit slot to protect the tip and prevent pricks.
